Belize has been awarded a significant $10 million grant from the Adaptation Fund to launch the SEAM Project (Securing Water Resources through Solar Energy and Innovative Adaptive Management). This ambitious initiative, approved at the Fund’s 45th Board Meeting in Bonn, Germany, is part of a broader global effort to address climate change. The five-year project, set to commence in early 2026, aims to transform rural communities in Belize by providing sustainable water solutions, restoring ecosystems, and diversifying livelihoods. Key components include the installation of solar-powered hybrid water systems to ensure safe and reliable water access, reforestation and agroforestry initiatives to enhance ecosystem resilience, and capacity-building programs for local water boards to promote inclusive governance. The project will directly benefit over 1,800 residents in communities such as Boom Creek, Dolores, Otoxha, and Copper Bank. With a strong emphasis on empowering women and fostering community resilience, the SEAM Project is poised to become a national model for climate adaptation strategies.
