LET’S PROTECT THE EARTH – NICARAGUA

Fight against climate change preserves also resources, such as forests. In Nicaragua, 98% of energy is created starting from wood: deforestation makes areas and their inhabitants particularly vulnerable to climate hazards; which is the case of Rio Coco basin.

Concorde Hotels & Resorts will enable CARE to act upstream to sensitize the local actors with climate changes and to train farmers with good management practices for wood resources.

• 7 districts in the basin of Rio Coco
• 79,800 inhabitants affected, including:
• 45 teachers and 900 pupils
• 55 officials and institutional technicians
• 1 120 farmers

• Train population and key actors in climate change (including farmers and teachers)
• Organize a national forum national on climate change
• Encourage implementation of public policies related to climate change by training institutional actors and civil society
• Encourage integration of new agricultural production system to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
