Long-Term
2. To entrench low carbon development pathway in the LVB through harnessing renewable energy resources for service and productive use.
Subproject 5 aims at enhancing resilience of LVB communities and ecosystems to climate change through interdisciplinary approaches, focusing on understanding climate change impacts and adopting solutions at household, farm, and landscape levels.
The Subproject aims at understanding climate impacts through climate simulations. It also explores solutions for communities and ecosystems to become resilient to climate change, focusing on sustainable technologies and practices adopted by farmers and fishermen. Further, the Subproject explores renewable energy solutions, demonstrating the potential of a solar cooker with thermal energy storage. It also investigates mechanisms for community and regional resilience, addressing cultural, societal, and governance barriers.
