Implementation of the Strategic Action Programme to Ensure Integrated and Sustainable Management of the Transboundary Water Resources of the Amazon River Basin Considering Climate Variability and Change
Descripción breve:The project is aimed to implement the Strategic Action Program (SAP), promoting Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and source-to-sea approaches, to improve ecological, social and economic benefits and, enabling the countries to meet their relevant SDG and convention targets in the Amazon basin. It will work on developing innovative, bottom-up water governance leading to improved ecosystem status and livelihoods, institutionally strengthened for improved basinwide management, strengthened Amazon communities able to adapt to extreme hydrologic events and sea level rise, strengthening livelihoods and reducing ecosystem pressures. Better understanding of the transboundary environmental impacts of major infrastructure projects on the Basin and increased resilience in support of SDG9 needed for long-term sustainability of IWRM, delivering socio-economic and environmental benefits fro... om the delivery of effective SAP implementation at national and regional level Read More

C-CHANGE Managing Adaptation to Environmental Change in Coastal Communities: Canada and the Caribbean
Descripción breve: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 Read More

FORCE Future of reef in a changing environment: An ecosystem approach to manage Caribbean coral reefs in the face of climate change
Descripción breve: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... o the design of marine reserve networks, identifying separate fish stocks just from morphometric measurements and providing livelihoods diversification frameworks to regional organisations Read More

Biopama II Biodiversity And Protected Area Management Programme, Phase II
Descripción breve:The objective of the second phase of this project is to further enhance existing local institutions and networks by building their capacity to strengthen policy and to implement well informed decisions on biodiversity conservation and protected areas management, and access and benefit sharing. A new component of this Programme is the funding of projects led by local communities, NGOs and other key actors, enabling them to enhance livelihoods through the sustainable use of resources in protected areas.The contribution of the IUCN is focusing on capacity building while the JRC provides the technical and scientific assistance to set up regional observatories for the 3 regions, observatories that are supported by the DOPA.

Biopama I Biodiversity And Protected Area Management Programme, Phase I
Descripción breve: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... s 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 Read More

MRV Hub Caribbean Cooperative Measurement Reporting and Verification Hub
Descripción breve:MRV is an important foundation for policy-making within the framework of the Paris Agreement. The project is establishing a “Caribbean Cooperative MRV Hub (CCMRVH)” to create greenhouse gas inventories, assess climate mitigation measures and track progress towards national climate targets. The platform will bring together experts from different countries and create regional institutional prerequisites for the cross-national use of expert knowledge on MRV. National specialists are developing institutional structures, emission-relevant data structures and drafts for political strategies and international reporting. Specialist MRV knowledge is also being improved through training and the project is developing framework conditions for the dissemination and sustainable use of the “Hub”.

CRAIC Climate Risk Adaptation and Insurance in the Caribbean
Descripción breve:The project is aimed to intensify the dissemination of the insurance policies in selected Caribbean countries, extending the availability of the “Livelihood Protection Policy” to other countries, and helping to increase the number of insurance providers. The target groups are mainly sections of the population that are strongly affected by climate change. The project is also integrating climate risk insurance more strongly into the national disaster management policy. The implementing partner is the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF), an insurance pool set up by the Caribean Community (CARICOM) states to insure themselves against natural disasters. The project is also participating in regional & international climate policy processes and negotiation formats, such as Conference of the Parties (COP) conferences.
