Integrated Approaches for Climate Change Adaptation in the East Usambara Mountains: The eco-village approach
This solution is one of 18 climate change adaptation solutions shared in the booklet Mountains ADAPT: Solutions from East Africa, which showcases adaptation solutions proven to be successful in response to specific issues caused or accelerated by climate change. These solutions were selected for their inclusive approaches, their potential to be transferred and upscaled, as well as their extended benefits for downstream communities across the East Africa Community.
This solution is described in the booklet on page 22: "Go eco-village".
Glacial lake outburst floods: A shared risk across the Hindu Kush Himalayas
