The long-term development goal of this medium size project is to assist Albania in beginning a process by which strategies to moderate, cope with, and take advantage of the consequences of climate change are enhanced, developed, and implemented. A system for monitoring climate change and its impacts on the Drini-Mati River Deltas ecosystem is now in place. Local government institutions already have the capacity to analyze data on climate variability and associated ecological impacts and integrate this into decision making . Community capacities were trained by UNDP to understand the impacts of climate fluctuations and expected changes on natural ecosystems and local livelihoods are developed. UNDP helps to to integrate adaptation measures, with involvement of local community, local authorities, NGOs, conservation groups, scientists and other stakeholders. |
