Descripción
This policy brief explores the willingness of local authorities to strengthen adaptation and resilience to climate change while improving social well-being and economic development. It presents forest restoration and sustainable agricultural practices, institutionalized yet led by communities, as effective methods for reducing risks, improving the resilience of farmer communities and ensuring sustainable livelihoods. It builds on the experience of the Municipality of Tublay, Benguet Province, in the inclusion of ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco DRR) in communal forest management through restoration and agroforestry activities that support local livelihoods.
