What is the significance of this to the Marshallese populace within the region?

By investing in coastal resilience planning, the project will make the Marshall Islands better able to withstand the impacts of sea level rise, storm surges, and other hazards.

This will reduce the risk of property damage, displacement, and loss of life. In addition, the project will help mitigate damage to infrastructure, due to climate change impacts, maintaining economic activities and enhancing amenity for residents of the Marshall Islands.

Finally, by protecting and restoring important coastal ecosystems like coral reefs and mangroves, the project will provide crucial benefits for biodiversity, food security, and other ecosystem services.
