| Summary: | This report is a synthesis of the key
findings and results of the four technical reports, with a
focus on the assessment of Climate Resilience (CR)
contributed by ENRM measures. This report is structured as
follows. After the introduction, chapter two presents the
terminology, a review of the approaches to building climate
resilience, and an overview of the methodology used in this
study. Chapter three first provides a literature review of
climate change and ENRM in the LVB, including a review of
environmental and climate challenges and ongoing
initiatives. It also surveys the major climate hazards and
risks in the basin through a study of historical events,
projections of climate change, and potential impacts to
different sectors across the basin. Chapter four presents an
assessment of climate risks at the micro-scale, focusing on
three community case studies in Tanzania’s Mwanza Region—an
assessment undertaken using participatory approaches.
Chapter five examines the institutional frameworks for
addressing environmental and natural resource management and
climate change and describes the key gaps and needs. Chapter
six identifies and assesses ENRM interventions that could
strengthen climate resilience. Recommendations and
suggestions for improvements are presented in chapter seven. |
