Climate-resilient livelihood options under SRP projects
Climate-resilient livelihood options for SRP projects include diversified agriculture (drought-tolerant crops, agroforestry, integrated farming), aquaculture and fisheries with adaptive practices, renewable energy enterprises (solar, biogas, improved cookstoves), eco-tourism and nature-based services, handicrafts using sustainable materials, and skills training for green jobs. Community-based microenterprises, climate-smart livestock rearing, and circular economy initiatives (waste recycling, composting) also strengthen resilience. These options reduce vulnerability, enhance food security, and create sustainable income streams while protecting ecosystems. Stakeholder mapping should prioritize vulnerable groups—women, youth, displaced populations—ensuring inclusivity, capacity building, and market linkages for long-term adaptation and resilience.
