C-CHANGE Managing Adaptation to Environmental Change in Coastal Communities: Canada and the Caribbean
Gestión de la adaptación al cambio ambiental en las comunidades costeras: Canadá y el CaribeBrief Description:The project develops local community capacity designed to close the gaps between ongoing and anticipated environmental change, and the urgent need for coastal communities to foster and maintain their physical, economic, cultural, and social well-being. C-Change seeks to enhance community resilience through improved planning for adaptation. This may require mobilizing new knowledge and the development of new policy and management measures consistent with established local context and strategic planning. The focus is on immediate and downstream consequences to coastal communities of the insidious effects of sea level rise and the potential catastrophic impacts of extreme weather events. C-Change acknowledges that capacity for planning adaptation and emergency preparedness must be integrated within the local context of the community using available scientific, management, and institutional governance arrangements. This project links community members and university researchers from Canada and the Caribbean region in support of applied research on coastal adaptation to environmental change from the impacts of storms and sea-level rise on susceptible coastal communities.El proyecto desarrolla las capacidades de comunidades para cerrar las brechas entre el cambio ambiental actual y anticipado, y la necesidad urgente para que las comunidades costeras fomenten y mantengan su bienestar físico, económico, cultural y social. C-Change busca mejorar la resiliencia de la comunidad a través de una mejor planificación para la adaptación. Esto puede requerir la movilización de nuevos conocimientos y el desarrollo de nuevas políticas y medidas de gestión coherentes con el contexto local establecido y la planificación estratégica. La atención se centra en las consecuencias inmediatas y aguas abajo para las comunidades costeras de los efectos insidiosos del aumento del nivel del mar y los posibles impactos catastróficos de los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos. C-Change reconoce que la capacidad para planificar la adaptación y la preparación para emergencias debe integrarse dentro del contexto local de la comunidad utilizando los arreglos científicos, administrativos y de gobernanza institucional disponibles. Este proyecto vincula a miembros de la comunidad e investigadores universitarios de Canadá y la región del Caribe en apoyo de la investigación aplicada sobre la adaptación costera al cambio ambiental de los impactos de las tormentas y el aumento del nivel del mar en las comunidades costeras susceptibles.Lead Organization: UWI, Trinidad and Tobago Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic StudiesDonor: IDRC / SALISES (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada)Project ID: 104518-013Geographic Scope: Multicountry (global)Project Status: CompletedLast Update: 06/01/2021

FORCE Future of reef in a changing environment: An ecosystem approach to manage Caribbean coral reefs in the face of climate change
El futuro de los arrecifes en un entorno cambiante: un enfoque ecosistémico para gestionar los arrecifes de coral del Caribe frente al cambio climáticoBrief Description:The overall aim is to provide coral reef managers with a toolbox of sustainable management practices that minimise the loss of coral reef health and biodiversity. An ecosystem approach is taken that explicitly links the health of the ecosystem with the livelihoods of dependent communities, and identifies the governance structures needed to implement sustainable development. Project outcomes are reached in four steps. First, a series of experimental, observational and modelling studies are carried out to understand both the ultimate and proximate drivers of reef health and therefore identify the chief causes of reef degradation. Second, the project assembles a toolbox of management measures and extends their scope where new research can significantly improve their efficacy. Tools were developed to assist with a diverse range of issues ranging from incorporating climate change impacts into the design of marine reserve networks, identifying separate fish stocks just from morphometric measurements and providing livelihoods diversification frameworks to regional organisations.El objetivo general es brindar a los gestores de los arrecifes de coral una caja de herramientas de prácticas de gestión sostenible que minimicen la pérdida de la salud y la biodiversidad de los arrecifes de coral. Se adopta un enfoque ecosistemico que vincula explícitamente la salud del ecosistema con los medios de vida de las comunidades dependientes e identifica las estructuras de gobernanza necesarias para implementar el desarrollo sostenible. Los resultados del proyecto se alcanzan en cuatro pasos. En primer lugar, se llevan a cabo una serie de estudios experimentales, observaciones y modelaje para comprender los factores impulsores de la salud de los arrecifes y, por lo tanto, identificar las causas principales de su degradación. En segundo lugar, el proyecto compila una caja de herramientas de medidas de gestión y amplía su alcance donde las nuevas investigaciones pueden mejorar significativamente su eficacia. Se desarrollaron herramientas para ayudar con una amplia gama de cuestiones que van desde la incorporación de los impactos del cambio climático en el diseño de redes de reservas marinas, la identificación de poblaciones de peces separadas solo a partir de mediciones morfométricas y la provisión de marcos de diversificación de los medios de vida a las organizaciones regionales.Lead Organization: University ExeterDonor: EU commissionProject ID: 244161Geographic Scope: Multicountry (regional)Project Status: CompletedLast Update: 05/01/2021

Biopama I Biodiversity And Protected Area Management Programme, Phase I
Programa de gestión de biodiversidad y áreas protegidas, Fase IBrief Description:BIOPAMA aims at reinforcing the management and governance of protected and conserved areas in all the 79 ACP countries. By providing unique and tailored support to protected area authorities at the local, national and regional level, it supports them in achieving their conservation objectives and to report more accurately their progress on relevant multilateral environmental agreements. Regional Observatories for protected areas coordinate information systems, data collection, analysis, monitoring and reporting and develop the capacities of staff and organisations to make optimal use of this information to address specific needs. Capacity building activities support protected area management and governance, and enable conservation practitioners, national agencies and protected areas managers to improve decision-making and prioritization of resource allocation. Site-based targeted actions support local and regional activities and their partners on biodiversity conservation to improve the knowledge base for decision making and address key priorities. The Caribbean Gateway acts as an open data for regional networking and sustainable development as it is linking data to better decision-making.BIOPAMA tiene como objetivo reforzar la gestión y la gobernanza de las áreas protegidas en los 79 países ACP. Al brindar un apoyo único y personalizado a las autoridades de áreas protegidas a nivel local, nacional y regional, las apoya para lograr sus objetivos de conservación y provee infomación para el avance en acuerdos ambientales multilaterales relevantes. Los Observatorios Regionales de áreas protegidas coordinan los sistemas de información, la recopilación de datos, el análisis, el monitoreo y la presentación de informes y desarrollan las capacidades del personal y las organizaciones para hacer un uso óptimo de esta información para atender necesidades específicas.
