Save the Children is implementing climate resilience programmes in Sierra Leone to address the growing impacts of climate change, which continue to threaten children’s well-being, livelihoods, and access to basic services. These challenges are largely driven by extreme weather events, environmental degradation, and limited community capacity to adapt.
These interventions aim to strengthen community resilience, promote sustainable livelihoods, and support climate-smart practices that help families adapt to changing conditions. Through this work, Save the Children ensures that children, especially those in vulnerable communities, are protected and able to survive, learn, and thrive in a changing climate.
CLIMATE RESILIENCE PROGRAMME
SIERRA LEONE COASTAL RESILIENCE PROJECT
The Sierra Leone Coastal Resilience Project (SLCRP) will help reduce the vulnerability of 75 coastal communities to climate change risks and impacts spanning across the five target districts (Kambia, Port Loko, Moyamba, Bonthe and Pujehun).
The project will help advance progress on Sierra Leone's national climate change priorities and commitments, aligned with the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and National Adaptation Plan. By strengthening capacity for locally-led climate change adaptation. Interventions are designed to reach 260,000 coastal people directly and indirectly benefit 1 million people.
