Project Completed

Under Implementation

In the Republic of Tanzania’s Kigoma Region, climate data show more frequent and unpredictable periods of heavy rainfall causing an increase of flood events. Dry spells are also expected to increase in frequency and severity. Coupled with the rise in average temperatures, this puts immense pressure on Kigoma’s already limited surface water resources. Consequently, both the refugee and host communities in the area face significant threats to their livelihoods since they rely on rainfall to deliver ecosystem goods and services. Given the existing humanitarian and environmental challenges in the region, Kigoma lacks the necessary tools and resources to effectively tackle climate challenges.

This project bridges the gap between efforts in development, humanitarian, and climate by adopting an integrated landscape-level approach that addresses the distinct climate adaptation requirements of both host communities and refugees residing in Kigoma. The key components of the project span from creating land use plans, rehabilitating degraded ecosystems to mainstreaming climate change adaptation measures into the region’s developmental plans and policies. Directly benefitting over half a million of the most-vulnerable people, the project will ensure the long-term sustainability of the communities through clear land-use demarcation, increased provision of ecosystem services and land productivity, increased water availability for irrigation during dry periods and improved food security through improved crop production.

An aim to achieve a quantifiable outcome within a given time-frame, set by an institution such as a national government.

Policy instruments are techniques or tools used by governing authorities to promote certain policies in order to achieve predetermined goals. Put simply, instruments are how a government tries to achieve its goals, with this taxonomy being focused on national policy instruments.

Risk is the potential for adverse consequences resulting from the dynamic interplay between (climate-related) hazards, exposure, and vulnerability of affected human or ecological systems.

Groups  of people who are adversely affected by climate change or the response to it

A set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

Renewable energy means all forms of energy produced from renewable sources in a sustainable manner.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, fossil gas, and oil (including crude oil, and petroleum products), that can be used for electricity and heat generation. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from pressurised and heated organic material buried over millions of years.

Molecules in the atmosphere that play a key role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat radiating from Earth’s surface.

Area of the economy in which actors engage in identical or related activities.

In human systems, the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, in order to moderate harm, increase resilience or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, the process of adjustment to actual climate change and its effects; human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate change and its effects.

The management and allocation of funds, assets and investments to meet various objectives

People who have left their homes, whether through force, voluntarily, or a mixture of both

Activities that involve the cultivation of crops and raising of livestock for food, fibre, and other products essential for human life and industry.

Either money or something of monetary value is transferred between two or more organisations, people or countries.

Actions or measures to adapt terrestrial systems to climate change.

This sector involves the distribution, treatment, and conservation of water resources.

Financial actors and resources that are primarily directed towards climate change mitigation, adaptation and compensation.

Dedicated pool of financial resources for climate-related projects.

Climate change impacts our society by disrupting the natural, economic and social systems we depend on. Physical hazards and underlying vulnerabilities can lead to increased resource competition for food and water, which can heighten the risk of conflict.

Actions or measures to adapt freshwater, coastal and marine systems to climate change.

woman and genders outside of the gender binary

Actions and measures to adapt and increase resilience of societies and the economy to climate change.

Activities that relate to the production of goods and services from forests.

Actions or measures to adapt freshwater systems to climate change.

Activities of government agencies and institutions that provide public services, enforce laws and manage public resources.

Extreme weather refers to events where a weather variable exceeds (or falls below) a threshold. Meaning it is significantly different from the average or usual weather pattern.

Social inclusion is the process of improving the terms on which individuals and groups take part in society—improving the ability, opportunity, and dignity of those disadvantaged on the basis of their identity.

The processes through which enterprises can identify, prevent, mitigate and account for how they address their actual and potential adverse impacts. Due diligence is the idea that reasonable precautions should be taken to avoid causing harm to people, the environment, or society. It also involves identifying and mitigating risks before they occur.

This sector involves activities to move goods and people, alongside the storage of products.
