• improve adaptation work at the initial six pilot sites (e.g. workshops and practices to improve waste management, sustainable land management, and disaster preparedness)
• evaluate the sustainability of all nine interventions and develop best-practice guidelines on adaptation options for water supply, flooding/inundation, coastal protection, reef management, and mangrove planting.
