Tanzania, situated in East Africa, occupies a surface area of 947,300 square kilometers (sq km). The country is bordered by Uganda, Kenya, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi, Dem. Rep. of Congo, and the Indian Ocean. Tanzania is vulnerable to rising sea levels threatening its coastal ecosystems, groundwater resources, and coastal infrastructure. It is also prone to risks from increased seasonal variations in rainfall and temperature, as well as frequent and prolonged droughts and floods.
In 2022, the African Zambezi River Basin Region was selected as one of the first participants in the Nature, People and Climate investment program. Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania and Zambia seek finance to support the restoration of 30,000 hectares of degraded wetlands along the Zambezi River Basin.
