Reducing Climate Change Vulnerability in Costa Rica
A project funded by the Adaptation Fund and implemented by its national implementing entity for Costa Rica, Fundecooperación para el Desarrollo Sostenible, is helping small agricultural producers adapt and build resilience to the negative impacts of climate change in Costa Rica such as droughts, higher temperatures and extreme rainfall.
The project is producing positive, concrete results in improving farmers’ livestock shelters, feeding methods and water management while also integrating artisanal farmers into the market value chain for their local products like milk and cheese. It is transforming and improving their livelihoods as they become climate-resilient producers.
