Regreening San Salvador to fight climate change

San Salvador

The United Nations Environment Programme is working with San Salvador city and its surrounding coffee farms to create a natural defence against floods. Known as CityAdapt, the project is restoring 1,150 hectares of forests and coffee plantations to revive San Salvador’s ability to absorb rainfall.

CityAdapt is funded by the Global Environment Facility. You can find more information on the project website here
