Healthy ecosystems are the very foundation for people’s wellbeing and livelihoods in the Sahel. WFP's integrated resilience programme generates climate solutions at scale bringing degraded land back to life

Adaptation means to support vulnerable people and ecosystems to become more resilient to the cascading effects of climate change coinciding with multiple vulnerabilities. Therefore, sustainable land and natural resource management is at the center of the WFP integrated resilience approach, working to counteract land degradation, restore ecosystems and enable sustainable access to water – the very foundation of life.
