Caribbean Hub sub-component - Capacity Building related to Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEA) in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Countries - CLME+ HUB

MEAS II    Caribbean Hub sub-component - Capacity Building related to Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEA) in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Countries


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.
