In Odisha, where a long coastline sustains the lives of millions, the ECRICC project operationalizes a comprehensive, multi-pronged strategy that bridges healthy ecosystems and prosperous communities. We understand that the health of Odisha’s precious ecosystems, like its mangroves and wetlands are directly tied to the security of its coastal communities. Our mission is to strengthen this bond, creating a future where both nature and people can thrive in the face of climate change.
These milestones reflect ECRICC’s commitment to climate action, demonstrating how science, policy, and community engagement can work together to build a sustainable and climate-resilient coastal India.
The project’s three main outputs are as follows:
Output 1
Enhanced resilience of coastal and marine ecosystems and their services.
Output 2
Climate-adaptive livelihoods for improved resilience of vulnerable coastal communities.
Output 3
Strengthened coastal governance and institutional frameworks.
