The north of Nicaragua is threatened by climate change. The population, which often lives in absolute poverty, depends almost entirely on agriculture. The increasing heavy rain and irregular rainfall is destroying yields, infrastructure and agricultural land. Other major challenges include the loss of biodiversity and the burning of waste. The project supports a local NGO in expanding a center for education and training on climate and the environment. The center will sensitize the population through radio, schools, local promoters and targeted training regarding adaptation to climate change, conservation of biological diversity and better waste management and enable them to change their behavior.
