"Expected benefits include; lowered risk of loss of life and property from the impacts of hazards and disasters; greater food security and improved soil and water conservation; greater public understanding of climate change and land degradation issues and support for sustainable land management practices; strengthened legal, institutional and policy framework to support sustainable land management; and specific physical adaptation interventions, including slope stabilisation, drainage improvement, river and sea defence, soil stabilisation works, reforestation and agro-forestry interventions, rain-water harvesting, eco-engineering," said Project Technical Team Leader of the GCCA Project on Climate Change Adaptation and Sustainable Land Management in the Eastern Caribbean, Chamberlain Emmanuel.
