The River Restoration for Climate Change Adaptation (RÍOS) project seeks river restoration as an effective climate change adaptation measure in selected watersheds in the states of Jalisco and Veracruz. RÍOS is the first project in Mexico financed by the Green Climate Fund.
In 2021, after the official launching of the CONECTA and RÍOS projects and in coordination with federal agencies, we established criteria, eligible activities, and priority areas to issue calls for proposals for field intervention projects to be initiated in 2022. We also started hiring personnel to establish the technical and operational foundations for both projects.
