Integrated climate adaptation solutions for the Hindu Kush Himalaya region
This integrated climate adaptation solutions for the Hindu Kush Himalaya region (ICAS-HKH) project aims to increase resilience to climate change impacts and improve the livelihoods of rural women, Indigenous Peoples and local communities in Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal. Reviving springs and managing springsheds are crucial for water security in the Hindu Kush Himalaya, especially amid climate change challenges. Working primarily with women, ICAS-HKH aims to support communities, women’s and Indigenous Peoples’ groups and local institutions to design and implement gender-responsive interventions to improve springshed management, address water scarcity and provide renewable energy technology for irrigation systems. ICAS-HKH seeks to promote the development and implementation of policies, strategies and guidelines by local government institutions to enable the scaling up of the approach. It also aims to enhance the capacity of beneficiaries to access other sources of climate adaptation funding to sustain this approach in the long term.

Our collective futures: Indigenous peoples partnering for lands and waters
The project aims to strengthen the climate resilience of Indigenous peoples in the Indo-Pacific through Indigenous-led climate action. Peer-to-peer learning between First Nations in Canada and abroad seeks to contribute to enhanced capacity to implement climate solutions for Indigenous peoples, in particular women and youth. The project equips Indigenous peoples to organize, strategize, and lead actions at the local, regional, and international levels that address climate change and biodiversity. Strengthened partnerships aim to increase the use of nature-based solutions. These solutions aim to benefit climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation. The project centers the self-determined priorities and needs of Indigenous peoples. The project aims to build on local partner Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact’s (AIPP) ongoing efforts to enhance knowledge-sharing and capacity-building among Indigenous peoples and their active participation in decision-making related to conservation and climate action. The project aligns with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous peoples. Project activities include: (1) convening knowledge circles on indigenous knowledge systems and indigenous governance as climate and biodiversity solutions; (2) identifying guidelines and tools that enable indigenous communities to participate in and lead climate action; and (3) supporting peer-to-peer knowledge sharing workshops between First Nations women and youth and Indigenous women and youth from Thailand and Nepal to empower Indigenous women and promote their climate leadership.
