Improving Climate Resilience by Increasing Water Security in the Amazon Basin
The Amazon Water Security Fund is a regional Program from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and implemented by the IDB, which will target the anticipated impacts of climate change on water availability and ecosystem services in the Amazon Basin and improve climate resilience and water security. This will be achieved by adopting an integrated water resource management (IWRM) approach, which focuses on vulnerable communities, particularly Indigenous Peoples, and employs adaptation measures such as enhanced hydroclimatic information systems, early warning systems, and climate-resilient water and sanitation infrastructure.
The US$391 million Fund adopts a multi-sectoral approach that incorporates synergies in the development of projects, by combining extensive know-how on the design and implementation of innovative financial instruments.
Is a holistic umbrella program for the region's sustainable development that aims to collaborate on forest conservation and climate action, offering economic alternatives to improve people's quality of life.
