Activity under preparation ACT 61396: Climate change adaptation through watershed, forest and disaster risk management and governance - 2 Project The Action is structured around two objectives:1.&nbsp;&nbsp;Improved and inclusive conservation, restoration and sustainable management and use of forests and biodiversity, within and outside protected areas ¿ including prevention of forest fires and implementation of climate adaptation and mitigation efforts; 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;Strengthened environmental governance, access to justice, and rights protection for men and women, and indigenous peoples, according to their differentiated needs and roles.The first objective coincides with that of ACT-60734, aiming at reducing deforestation, forest degradation (mostly due to forest fires) and biodiversity loss. In this case, the objectove is reached through actions in support to civil society organisations working with local government and rural communities in and around forested areas. Field-level activities are expected to focus on the biomes of Amazon, Chiquitania and Chaco (CSO grants through the Swedish International Development Agency), which are the most vulnerable to land use change, fires and environmental degradation. Disaster risk reduction ¿ related to forest fires ¿ will be targeted with actions at community levels. Sustainable production practices and green value chains are expected to be supported, based on the recommendations of the EU-Bolivia Joint Review of the forest sector and potential alliance between public and private sector.The second objective will focus on more sensitive aspects of environmental and water management, dealing with governance, justice and environmental-territorial rights, with a special attention to indigenous people. As such, the intervention belongs to both priority areas 1 and 2, making their linkages visible. In partnership with the Swedish International Development Agency and through CSO, the intervention is expected to support access to environmental information and justice in accordance with the Bolivian commitment under the Escazú Agreement, promote and protect human right defenders working on land and environmental rights, foster community participation in local planning and their right to Free Prior and Informed Consent.
