Resumen
Descripción
The Government of Bhutan is focusing on developing carbon-neutral and climate-resilient water resources to combat water shortages and drying springs. To ensure access to safe drinking water, adequate irrigation, and resilience against prolonged dry periods and increasing floods, Bhutan has set several priorities. Notably, these include adopting a landscape-based approach to water management to sustain ecological functions and reduce soil and forest impacts. The country emphasizes gender-sensitive, nature-based, and ecosystem-based actions as climate adaptation solutions. To support the implementation of the National Water Flagship Programme (NWFP) – aimed at addressing water security and management issues across the country – the Government of Bhutan, through the erstwhile Gross National Happiness Commission Secretariat (GNHCS), requested assistance from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in developing projects to access the Green Climate Fund (GCF).
