Green Climate Fund approves USD 30 million for climate resilience in Tajikistan
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) welcomed the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Board’s approval of a USD 30 million climate adaptation project that will directly benefit 73,500 people and help vulnerable communities in Tajikistan strengthen resilience to climate change and protect food security and livelihoods, according to press release issued by the WFP Representative Office in Tajikistan.
Implemented in partnership with the Committee for Environmental Protection, under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan and its Centre for Implementation of Investment Projects (CIIP), the project will support climate-resilient agriculture, sustainable water management, improved climate information services and stronger local institutions in some of the country’s most climate-vulnerable areas.
Climate change is increasingly affecting communities across Tajikistan. Rising temperatures, glacier retreat, droughts, floods and water scarcity are putting rural livelihoods and food systems under increasing strain.
The project aims to help communities anticipate, prepare for and adapt to these shocks, while also strengthening climate resilience and adaptation capacities at local and national levels.
«The approval of this project marks a significant milestone for Tajikistan and demonstrates the Green Climate Fund’s confidence in the country’s commitment to building climate resilience,» said Siemon Hollema, WFP Representative and Country Director in Tajikistan. «Together with the Government of Tajikistan and our partners, we are investing in a more resilient future for vulnerable communities, helping them withstand climate shocks while protecting livelihoods and food security.»
