SABERES Program: Planning and innovation for climate resilience in Mexico

The SABERES program, Territorial Planning and Financial Innovation to Increase Resilience to Climate Change, is an initiative funded by the German government (IKI Fund). It works with small farmers (85% of producers in the case of Mexico), in areas highly vulnerable to climate change in the states of Campeche, Chiapas, Jalisco, Michoacán, Oaxaca, Puebla and Tabasco to improve adaptation to climate change and resilience in the rural sector, strengthening land use planning, with an Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EbA) approach, promoting the adoption of best practices in sustainable livestock production systems, honey, mezcal, agave, coffee, and cocoa. It will offer innovative financing mechanisms.

How has IICA integrated NbS into its projects? Sustainable use of natural resources: Sites with potential for tourism services such as waterfalls, caves and trails have been mapped, promoting the alternative and sustainable use of these resources. Environmental conservation and recovery practices: The Conscious Tourism initiative seeks to rescue and strengthen the natural and cultural heritage of the community, incorporating ecosystem-based adaptation practices. What lessons can you share about collaborating with farmers to implement NbS? •The leading role of development stakeholders in diagnosis, planning and management is key to the participation, commitment and appropriation of sustainable processes.
