BRAZIL: “Climate Feasibility Study for the project “Enhancing resilience of communities, smallholders and ecosystems to climate change impacts through adapting and scaling up land/resources used systems in the Marajo Archipelago in Brazil”. 

INICIATIVE/ PROYECT:   

This foreseen project aims to implement the best climate-resilient and cost-effective solutions, targeting smallholder producers from Salvaterra, Soure and Cachoeira do Arari in the Marajó Island, Brazil4 affected by climate change impacts. 

The project will seek to increase adaptive capacities of smallholders to make the current food production system more resilient to climate change impacts. Through the implementation and upscale of diversified agroforestry systems5, the project will result in smallholders´ livelihoods becoming more resilient to climate shocks and stresses triggered by climate change. For more information, please read the Concept Note developed and submitted to the GCF for consideration.
