coastal flooding

A Climate Change Trust Fund (CCTF) recipient‑executed grant that demonstrated climate‑adaptive planning and management using an integrated, multi‑sector approach in Addu (Seenu) and Gnaviyani atolls.

Prepared in response to the very severe cyclonic storm Hudhud (2014), the project restored and enhanced resilience of critical services, infrastructure, and livelihoods across cyclone‑affected areas of Andhra Pradesh.

This Development Policy Financing with a Catastrophe Deferred-Drawdown Option (Cat DDO) strengthens the Government of the Philippines’ capacity to manage disaster and climate risks across education, human settlements, and health systems. Policy actions integrate risk‑informed and evidence‑based resilience measures in school infrastructure planning and emergency preparedness; mainstream resilience in land use planning, urban design strategies, and establishment of green/open spaces; and embed resilience standards in the construction of health facilities.

This Development Policy Operation with a Catastrophe Deferred Drawdown Option (Cat DDO) supports the Republic of the Marshall Islands to (i) enhance fiscal management and (ii) build disaster and climate resilience. Policy actions include establishing core public financial management and procurement processes, and strengthening the disaster and climate policy framework via the Disaster Risk Management Act (2023), a Sea Level Rise Adaptation Policy, and a forthcoming National Building Act/Code.

The project develops high-quality designs for a green, resilient, and inclusive waterfront park in Downtown Kingston, alongside urban upgrading and institutional capacity building to catalyze private sector-led redevelopment. SOP 1 finances conceptual and detailed designs, baseline and planning studies, MSME mapping and economic activation, and advisory services (including a City/Business Improvement District model), with climate‑smart and universal design principles embedded and a CERC for shocks.

The project restores disaster-affected sectors and strengthens preparedness after Hurricane Beryl, focusing on coastal and port infrastructure recovery and resilience. Activities include rehabilitation of fisheries landing sites and fish markets, strengthening and upgrading coastal protection (e.g., breakwaters/break walls, seawalls, shoreline stabilization and coastal road protection), and repair and rehabilitation of the Port of Bridgetown, alongside improvements to emergency management systems and studies to enhance port and fisheries infrastructure resilience

The development objective of the Forest Sector Modernization and Coastal Resilience Enhancement Project for Vietnam was to improve coastal forest management in the Project Provinces. The project had three technical components in addition to a fourth component on project management, monitoring, and evaluation. The first component modernized the technical know how and approaches used for planning, supplying seedlings, and financing coastal protection forest management and planting.

The objective of the Integrated Water Security and Sanitation Program Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) Including Phase 1 Credit for the Integrated Water Security and Sanitation Project for Senegal is to improve access to safe water supply and sanitation, and to increase resilience to flood and drought risks. There are four components to the project, the first component being water resources management and protection.

To strengthen the resilience of targeted coastal communities and promote sustainable tourism in São Tomé e Príncipe. The project will support green, gray, and hybrid investments for erosion and flood control, and restore mangrove ecosystems.

The development objective is to establish policy foundations to foster low-emission and sustainable economic growth and climate change resilience. The DPL will support reforms to enhance climate planning and governance, including those that promote plans and programs to restore terrestrial and marine areas to provide protection from storm surges.
