Civil society’s contribution to biodiversity conservation in the Caribbean Islands biodiversity hotspot
Contribución de la sociedad civil a la conservación de la biodiversidad en el hotspot de biodiversidad de las Islas del CaribeBrief Description:The CEPF ecosystem reprofiling has resulted in the identification of 324 Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) in the Caribbean Islands Biodiversity Hotspot, 167 of which are in CEPF-eligible countries. The reprofiling exercise concluded that biodiversity of the Caribbean Islands Hotspot continues to be at serious risk of species extinctions. Of the taxa reviewed for the preparation of the ecosystem profile, 992 species are assessed as globally threatened. Of the 992 globally threatened species in the Caribbean Islands Hotspot, 575 species occur in countries eligible to receive CEPF funding. Seventy-seven grants were awarded to 68 civil society organisations. Seventy-eight per cent of the funds committed went to local and regional Caribbean CSOs.La remodelación del ecosistema del CEPF ha dado como resultado la identificación de 324 Áreas Clave de Biodiversidad en el Hotspot de Biodiversidad de las Islas del Caribe, 167 de las cuales se encuentran en países elegibles para el CEPF. El ejercicio de modificación del perfil concluyó que la biodiversidad del hotspot de las islas del Caribe sigue estando en grave riesgo de extinción de especies. De los taxones revisados para la preparación del perfil del ecosistema, 992 especies están evaluadas como globalmente amenazadas. De las 992 especies amenazadas a nivel mundial en el hotspot de las islas del Caribe, 575 especies se encuentran en países elegibles para recibir fondos del CEPF. Se otorgaron setenta y siete subvenciones a 68 organizaciones de la sociedad civil. El 78% de los fondos comprometidos se destinó a OSC locales y regionales del Caribe.Lead Organization: CANARIDonor: Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF), IUCN, GEF, Japan, MacArthur Foundation and the World BankProject ID:Geographic Scope: Multicountry (regional)Project Status: CompletedLast Update: 15/12/2020

Updating the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) Ecosystem Profile for the Caribbean Islands Biodiversity Hotpot
Actualización del perfil de ecosistemas del Fondo de asociación para ecosistemas críticos (CEPF) para el foco de biodiversidad de las islas del CaribeBrief Description:The goal of the project is to update the ecosystem profile for the Caribbean Islands biodiversity hotspot through a participatory process. The ecosystem profile will take advantage of emerging opportunities and align with existing investments by governments and other donors, and will provide a platform through which funders and other partners interested in supporting civil society groups in the hotspot can share goals and strategies. The updated profile will be a snapshot of the hotspot in 2017 that describes the current state of, and threats to, biodiversity and the capacity of civil society to engage as a partner in conservation. The framework for a new investment in the Caribbean Islands biodiversity hotspot is being done through a series of national and regional meetings, which would bring opportunities to shape the updated CEPF ecosystem profile and investment framework for the region. This project follows a successful initial five-year investment that ended in July 2016. The project is comprising on a consultative process that will define the parameters of the new CEPF investment in the Caribbean.El objetivo del proyecto es actualizar el perfil del ecosistema para el hotspot de biodiversidad de las Islas del Caribe a través de un proceso participativo. El perfil del ecosistema aprovechará las oportunidades emergentes y se alineará con las inversiones existentes de los gobiernos y otros donantes, y proporcionará una plataforma a través de la cual los financiadores y otros socios interesados en apoyar a los grupos de la sociedad civil en el hotspot pueden compartir objetivos y estrategias. El perfil actualizado será una instantánea del hotspot en 2017 que describe el estado actual y las amenazas a la biodiversidad y la capacidad de la sociedad civil para participar como socio en la conservación. El marco para una nueva inversión en el hotspot de biodiversidad de las Islas del Caribe se está realizando a través de una serie de reuniones nacionales y regionales, que brindarían oportunidades para dar forma al perfil del ecosistema y el marco de inversión actualizados del CEPF para la región. Este proyecto sigue a una exitosa inversión inicial de cinco años que finalizó en julio de 2016. El proyecto comprende un proceso consultivo que definirá los parámetros de la nueva inversión del CEPF en el Caribe.Lead Organization: CANARIDonor: Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF), IUCN, GEF, Japan, MacArthur Foundation and the World BankProject ID:Geographic Scope: Multicountry (regional)Project Status: OngoingLast Update: 15/12/2020

MEAS II Caribbean Hub sub-component - Capacity Building related to Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEA) in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Countries
Subcomponente del Centro del Caribe: Creación de capacidad relacionada con los acuerdos ambientales multilaterales (MEA) en países de África, el Caribe y el Pacífico (ACP)Brief Description:This Project forms the Caribbean Hub sub-component of the European Commission funded Capacity Building related to Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) in the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries. The overall objective of the Project is to strengthen and enhance the endogenous capacity of Caribbean ACP countries to effectively implement and comply with MEAs and related commitments thereby resulting in sound management of the environment and natural resources. This will facilitate Caribbean countries to address development challenges associated with the adverse effects of climate change, loss of biodiversity, drought, land degradation, waste management and other threats to the environment. The Project will focus on building and strengthening capacities for compliance with, and implementation and enforcement of MEAs. Training and knowledge in multilateral environmental negotiation and diplomacy will be provided to facilitate effective participation at international environmental negotiations. In addition to the lack of negotiating skills, a further constraint is the lack of relevant information available to delegates prior to meetings on issues to be negotiated. A mechanism of briefing Caribbean negotiators before major environmental negotiations will therefore be established. Moreover, the CARICOM Secretariat as the regional hub for the Caribbean will play a crucial role in building a regional consensus on negotiation positions on MEA negotiations.Este proyecto forma el subcomponente Caribbean Hub del desarrollo de capacidades financiado por la Comisión Europea relacionado con los acuerdos ambientales multilaterales (MEA) en los países de África, el Caribe y el Pacífico (ACP). El objetivo general es fortalecer y mejorar la capacidad de los países ACP del Caribe para implementar y cumplir de manera efectiva los MEA y los compromisos relacionados, lo que resultará en una gestión sólida del medio ambiente y los recursos naturales. Esto facilitará que los países del Caribe aborden los desafíos de desarrollo asociados con los efectos adversos del cambio climático, la pérdida de biodiversidad, la sequía, la degradación de la tierra, la gestión de desechos y otras amenazas al medio ambiente. El proyecto se centrará en la creación y el fortalecimiento de las capacidades para el cumplimiento, la implementación y el cumplimiento de los MEA. Se proporcionará capacitación y conocimientos en negociación ambiental multilateral y diplomacia para facilitar la participación efectiva en las negociaciones ambientales internacionales. Además de la falta de habilidades de negociación, una limitación adicional es la falta de información relevante disponible para los delegados antes de las reuniones sobre los temas que se negociarán. Por lo tanto, se establecerá un mecanismo para informar a los negociadores caribeños antes de las principales negociaciones ambientales. Además, la Secretaría de CARICOM, como centro regional para el Caribe, desempeñará un papel crucial en la construcción de un consenso regional sobre las posiciones de negociación sobre las negociaciones de los MEA.Lead Organization: UNEP-CEPDonor: EUProject ID: 2009-CPL-2262-2661-3771Geographic Scope: Multicountry (regional)Project Status: CompletedLast Update: 28/10/2020
