This Resolution approves the Climate and Environmental Action Programme in Cape Verde, aimed to increase climate resilience and environmental sustainability through integrated resource management, water and food security, reduction of environmental risks and protection of biodiversity. The Programme's overall objective for the period 2025-2027 is to increase Cape Verde's climate and environmental resilience through the implementation of integrated policies and interventions to strengthen water and food security, reduce environmental risks and protect biodiversity, with a direct impact on the protection of ecosystems and vulnerable rural communities, in line with national and international sustainable development commitments. Its specific objectives are: a) Improve water security, even during periods of prolonged drought; b) Promote soil conservation and resilient agriculture through water and soil conservation techniques; c) Reduce environmental risks of disasters through proper management of watersheds, vegetation (forest clearing, reforestation) and slope stabilisation; d) Protect and restore terrestrial and marine biodiversity, including critical habitats and emblematic species such as sea turtles, through community conservation and monitoring actions; e) Promote the resilience of fishing communities through sustainable fisheries management initiatives, marine habitat conservation and strengthening local capacities for adaptation to climate change; f) Strengthen the involvement of local communities in adaptation and conservation activities, reinforcing their adaptive capacity and resilience; g) Strengthen institutional and local capacity for climate adaptation by establishing effective mechanisms for coordination, decentralised implementation (via NGOs/associations) and participatory monitoring that can be replicated beyond the Programme.
