Aléa climatique préoccupant

Sea level rise

Comment votre solution réduit-elle l'exposition et protège-t-elle l'écosystème affecté ?

The project can reduce the expose to salt instrusion, up to 60km far from the shoreline to inland; and protect the rice field system not replace by marine water

How has your solution increased the capacity of the ecosystem to adapt to potential climate changes?

and reduce the suffer from salt water effect to the rice system in fresh water

Comment votre solution réduit-elle l'exposition et protège-t-elle les communautés affectées ?

In summary, the project result are expected: - Impact of the mental preparedness to cope with climate change and saltwater intrusion - Summary of traditional experience as well as equipment with new knowledge for the community to find livehood solutions and improvement farming methods toward the new trend - Survey and evaluation new solutions, effective selective model parallel application of communication networks through community learning - Enhace the efficiency of conservation, prevent of ecosystem degradation, reduce pressure of population growth and natural harmony-oriented exploitation. - Support orientation for local planning policy - It will equip community and regional citizen with relevant skills, transfer of sustainable livelihoods in the long term (after project completion)

Comment votre solution réduit-elle la sensibilité des communautés affectées ?

Impact of the community livelihood are expected toward sustainable adaptation include: - Sweet rice cultivation, structural changes of salt-resistance - Cultivation of vegetables and crops to change brackish water aquaculture - Structure of rice-wheat color change rice- shrimp - Freshwater aquaculture change brackish - The structure of the harvest season change to avoid the impact of flood - Natural grazing change livestock farm, managing and regulating of temperature, humidity and disease prevention. - Development services that meet cultivated requirements such as distribution of livestock services, trade, transport, veterinary ... - Training and transfering exploitation occupation depend on nature to sustainable livelihoods such as aquaculture, construction .. - Provide employment opportunities for women to promote gender equality basically such as small building indutry model with region materials, ecotourism model .. - Planning sensitive areas to enhance the conservation of ecosystems and mitigating the impact of livelihoods affected areas such as management of forest reprodution, ecological aquaculture, responsible exploitation ... ... co-management model building.
