Myanmar is facing rising climate risks alongside deep constraints on formal delivery capacity. In many places, the work of adaptation is happening through civil society, community groups, youth networks and locally-rooted organisations that continue to act even when institutions are stretched or fragmented. This compendium responds to that reality. It brings together practical, experience-based learning on nature-based solutions (NbS) and related approaches that reduce climate risk while supporting livelihoods, ecosystems and everyday wellbeing. The Myanmar Climate Action Network (MCAN) is a coalition of organisations and practitioners working to strengthen climate action in Myanmar. This compendium is presented as MCAN’s collective recommendations, drawing on what members and partners are already doing across the country, what has been shown to work in comparable contexts and what needs to change to make NbS more effective, fair and durable.
