The project focuses on enhancing community resilience and sustainable management of natural resources in Lao PDR through Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) practices. Key activities include organizing an inception workshop within 60 days of GEF CEO endorsement to align stakeholders and finalize project plans. Following this, a series of capacity-building training sessions will be conducted for local authorities and communities to strengthen their knowledge of Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) and EbA practices. Additionally, the project will implement ecosystem interventions such as reforestation and wetland restoration to improve environmental resilience. Regular monitoring and evaluation will be conducted to track progress and ensure project objectives are met. Throughout the project, ongoing stakeholder engagement will ensure inclusive participation and integration of local perspectives into all activities, promoting long-term sustainability and successful implementation.

The impacts of climate change in the Xe Bang Hieng River Basin and urban centers like Luang Prabang city present significant challenges to communities, ecosystems, and infrastructure. Seasonal flooding in the Xe Bang Hieng River Basin destroys agricultural lands, displaces families, and damages critical infrastructure, while prolonged droughts threaten water

The challenges posed by climate change in the Xe Bang Hieng River Basin and urban areas like Luang Prabang city are significant, affecting both rural and urban communities. Floods and droughts damage livelihoods, ecosystems, and infrastructure, while deforestation and rapid urbanization exacerbate these vulnerabilities.
