Strengthening Climate Resilience on the Comoros Coastal Zone Through Ecosystem-based Adaptation
The Comoros are highly exposed to climate hazards, and climate projections indicate that in the future the country will suffer from more extreme heat; will encounter a high probability of cyclone intensification and erratic regional cyclone routes, with the expected frequency of damaging tropical cyclone winds having more than a 20% chance of potentially-damaging wind speeds in the next 10 years; and projected sea level rise under the scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 indicates an increase of sea-level of respectively +27cm and +28cm.
Fortifying Infrastructure for Responsible Extinguishments (FIRE)
Uncontrolled releases of PFAS from airports are eliminated.

Towards a better understanding of the Amazon Aquifer Systems for its protection and sustainable management
Beneath much of the Amazon basin lies the Amazon aquifer systems (AAS). While presumably it underlies parts of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, its actual extent and dynamics are not well understood, and it is anticipated that it could extend much further than is currently known. The demand for quality water has increased in the Amazon Basin and, despite the large volume of surface water in the region, all countries use groundwater extensively as an alternative source of safe water.
