Résumé
The project seeks to improve the climate resilience of marginalized communities, particularly women and youth, and ecosystems that are structurally vulnerable to climate change, through nature-based climate solutions in six Lake Chad Basin protected areas registered under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in Cameroon, Chad, and Niger. The project directly supports 315,000 people (75% women) through improved resilient agriculture practices and communitarian conflict resolution processes. Two million people will benefit from new or improved ecosystem services by restoring 10,000 hectares of wetlands. Also, 2.7 million people displaced due to conflict (60% children and 25% women) will indirectly benefit as the project contributes to regional stabilization strategies, including peaceful conflict resolution and communitarian processes.

Description
The project seeks to improve the climate resilience of marginalized communities, particularly women and youth, and ecosystems that are structurally vulnerable to climate change, through nature-based climate solutions in six Lake Chad Basin protected areas registered under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in Cameroon, Chad, and Niger. The project directly supports 315,000 people (75% women) through improved resilient agriculture practices and communitarian conflict resolution processes.

Description (French)
Le projet vise à améliorer la résilience climatique des communautés marginalisées, en particulier les femmes et les jeunes, et des écosystèmes structurellement vulnérables au changement climatique, grâce à des solutions climatiques basées sur la nature dans six zones protégées du bassin du lac Tchad enregistrées dans le cadre de la Convention de Ramsar sur les zones humides au Cameroun, au Tchad et au Niger. Le projet soutient directement 315 000 personnes (dont 75 % de femmes) en améliorant les pratiques agricoles résilientes et les processus communautaires de résolution des conflits. Deux millions de personnes bénéficieront de services écosystémiques nouveaux ou améliorés grâce à la restauration de 10 000 hectares de zones humides. En outre, 2,7 millions de personnes déplacées en raison d'un conflit (60 % d'enfants et 25 % de femmes) en bénéficieront indirectement, car le projet contribue aux stratégies de stabilisation régionale, notamment à la résolution pacifique des conflits et aux processus communautaires.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) improved conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity by marginalized communities vulnerable to climate change, especially women and youth, in protected areas of Lake Chad Basin; (2) improving crops that are vulnerable to climate change by adopting gender-responsive and climate-resilient agricultural livelihoods; and (3) increased leadership by women and youth in climate change-focused environmental peacebuilding within and near the project’s Ramsar sites.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) une meilleure conservation et une utilisation durable de la biodiversité par les communautés marginalisées vulnérables au changement climatique, en particulier les femmes et les jeunes, dans les zones protégées du bassin du lac Tchad; 2) amélioration des cultures vulnérables au changement climatique en adoptant des moyens de subsistance agropastoraux résilients face au climat et sexotransformateurs au sein et à proximité des sites RAMSAR cible; 3) renforcement du leadership des femmes et des jeunes dans la consolidation de la paix environnementale au sein et à proximité des sites RAMSAR cibles et dans le processus de stabilisation régionale existant.
