Description
The Regreening for the Future Project aims to learn how the integration of adaptation pathways within a community-led regreening model can enhance the capacity of communities in East Africa to continuously adapt to climate change long into the future.
Current community-led landscape regeneration and integrated livelihood project models provide a foundation in which to embed adaptation pathways and therefore enhance the adaptation capacity of communities to enable climate-smart agriculture. Embedding an adaptation pathways approach in such a model aspires to include diverse stakeholders, perspectives, insights and values from communities and stakeholders in climate change decision making.
In this project CIFOR-ICRAF anticipates three main outcomes, namely:
1. Rural communities have improved understanding of current and future climate considerations and improved capacity to lead and participate in a climate-ready regreening process – including sharing insights beyond their community
2. Influential stakeholders within the enabling environment for regreening are aware, engaged and able to support adaptation and scaling in the future
3. National government actors in Kenya as well as development and research partners in East Africa understand and value adaptation pathways and are able to encourage the use of the approach, especially for regreening.
