CLIMATE & COMMUNITY RESILIENCE

Program Development

Climate Resilience &
Environmental Restoration

Protecting Puntland’s ecosystems. Strengthening community resilience.

OUR PLANNED PROGRAM

Healthy ecosystems.
Resilient communities.

Puntland Global Fund aims to help vulnerable communities respond to climate change, prolonged drought, land degradation, and environmental vulnerability.

Through this proposed program, we plan to promote nature-based solutions that restore degraded ecosystems, protect natural resources, strengthen livelihoods, and build long-term resilience to climate-related shocks.

Initiatives are in development. Locations, partners, budgets, and implementation plans will be confirmed before projects are announced.

PRIORITY INITIATIVES

Restoration shaped
by local needs.

These proposed activities will be refined through local consultation and technical assessment.

01

Drought Resilience & Rangeland Restoration

We aim to rehabilitate degraded grazing lands through native vegetation restoration, sustainable land management, and community-led conservation that strengthens resilience to recurring droughts.

02

Coastal & Marine Ecosystem Protection

We plan to assess opportunities to protect and restore vulnerable coastal habitats, including mangroves where locally appropriate, to reduce erosion, support biodiversity, and protect livelihoods.

03

Watershed Restoration & Natural Resource Management

We aim to support ecosystem-based watershed rehabilitation, soil conservation, and sustainable natural resource management to improve water retention and reduce land degradation.

04

Community-Based Climate Adaptation

We plan to work with communities, environmental organizations, and researchers on locally led adaptation initiatives that integrate traditional knowledge, scientific research, and sustainable ecosystem management.

05

Environmental Partnerships & Capacity Building

We seek partnerships with environmental institutions, development organizations, and climate-financing mechanisms to build technical capacity, mobilize resources, and develop effective nature-based solutions.

OUR APPROACH

Nature-based solutions.
Community-led action.

Our planned work connects environmental restoration with practical adaptation and sustainable livelihoods.

  1. 01

    Locally Led Solutions

    Communities help identify priorities and shape, implement, and sustain environmental initiatives.

  2. 02

    Ecosystem-Based Adaptation

    Healthy ecosystems and biodiversity can help reduce vulnerability to drought, erosion, and other climate-related shocks.

  3. 03

    Sustainable Livelihoods

    Restoration should support economic opportunity and community well-being alongside environmental outcomes.

  4. 04

    Partnerships & Measurable Impact

    We aim to work with qualified institutions and track environmental and social outcomes against clear baselines.

OUR VISION

A climate-resilient Puntland.

Restored ecosystems, sustainable natural resources, and empowered communities providing a foundation for long-term environmental and economic security.
