Addressing Finance And Capacity Barriers For Nature-based Solutions Implementation At City Level
To address the problem of water quality and flooding in South Africa’s KwaZulu Natal province, the CFF is conducting an inter-municipality knowledge exchange with the eThekwini Municipality.
Can adaptation to a changing climate also enhance local and provincial economies, thereby creating jobs and new avenues for private sector investment? When adapting to climate change, how can the affected and neighbouring communities be taken on board and motivated to buy into the concept? While these questions are not typical when developing local adaptation projects, they have played a major role in strategically designing the Transformative River Management Programme (TRMP) in eThekwini Municipality (Durban), which the CFF is supporting through a Senior Project Advisor based in the city for a period of 2.5 years.
This report is the first in a 3-part series presenting Durban’s learnings from the establishment, implementation and planned upscaling of transformative riverine management projects.
