About the project:

Enhancing Climate Resilience of India’s Coastal Communities (ECRICC)’ is a six-year project, that aims to develop the resilience of the lives and livelihoods of the most vulnerable populations particularly women, in the coastal areas of India to climate change and extreme events, using an ecosystem-centred and community-based approach.

Outputs Envisaged:

This project plans three outputs and follows a multisectoral approach integrating EbA into coastal management and planning.

  • Enhanced resilience of coastal and marine ecosystems and their services.
  • Climate adaptive livelihoods for enhanced resilience of vulnerable coastal communities
  • Strengthened governance and institutional framework for climate-resilient management of coastal areas…
