The Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project construction of multimillion-dollar adaptation infrastructure in the capital Funafuti is complete. More areas set to follow soon. The reclamation incorporates drainage to protect from heavy rainfall and a small harbor facility to provide continued community access to the Funafuti Lagoon. Plans are underway to ensure the site is properly maintained, with the buried mega-bags expected to remain intact well beyond 40 years. Financed with US$36 million from the Green Climate Fund and $2.9 million from the Government of Tuvalu, the project will enable the Government to take steps to manage the risks of coastal hazards. Launched in August 2017, the Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project will be implemented over 7 years until 2024. ? TCAP.
