This report is a synthesis of the key findings and results of the four technical reports, with a focus on the assessment of Climate Resilience (CR) contributed by ENRM measures. This report is structured as follows. After the introduction, chapter two presents the terminology, a review of the approaches to building climate resilience, and an overview of the methodology used in this study.
- Chapter three first provides a literature review of climate change and ENRM in the LVB, including a review of environmental and climate challenges and ongoing initiatives. It also surveys the major climate hazards and risks in the basin through a study of historical events, projections of climate change, and potential impacts to different sectors across the basin.
- Chapter four presents an assessment of climate risks at the micro-scale, focusing on three community case studies in Tanzania's Mwanza Region-an assessment undertaken using participatory approaches.
- Chapter five examines the institutional frameworks for addressing environmental and natural resource management and climate change and describes the key gaps and needs.
- Chapter six identifies and assesses ENRM interventions that could strengthen climate resilience. Recommendations and suggestions for improvements are presented in chapter seven.
