Climate Smarting Marine Protected Areas and Coastal Management in the Mesoamerican Reef Region - CLME+ HUB

    Climate Smarting Marine Protected Areas and Coastal Management in the Mesoamerican Reef Region


Brief Description:
The project aims to mainstream climate-smart principles into Marine Protected Area management and coastal development policies in countries bordering the Mesoamerican Reef with a view to improve the adaptive capacities of coastal communities in the region. Specific, e.g. ecosystem-based, adaptation options will be determined in a cross-sector and stakeholder-driven decision-making process applying science-based tools including ecological risk assessments and cost-benefit analyses that integrate climate change and social development scenarios, ecosystem services modelling and green vs. grey infrastructure. While informing relevant policy and management frameworks, adaptation measures will be implemented in selected coastal areas in Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras. The project will enhance knowledge and capacities at local and national levels, contribute to national adaptation policies and action plans and make best practices available at relevant national and international fora.

El proyecto tiene como objetivo incorporar principios climáticamente inteligentes en la gestión de áreas marinas protegidas y en las políticas de desarrollo costero en los países ribereños del Arrecife Mesoamericano con miras a mejorar las capacidades de adaptación de las comunidades costeras de la región. Específico, p. Ej. Las opciones de adaptación basadas en los ecosistemas se determinarán en un proceso de toma de decisiones intersectorial e impulsado por las partes interesadas aplicando herramientas científicas que incluyen evaluaciones de riesgo ecológico y análisis de costo-beneficio que integran escenarios de cambio climático y desarrollo social, modelado de servicios ecosistémicos y ecología. vs infraestructura gris. Al mismo tiempo que se informan los marcos de gestión y políticas pertinentes, se implementarán medidas de adaptación en áreas costeras seleccionadas en México, Belice, Guatemala y Honduras. El proyecto mejorará los conocimientos y las capacidades a nivel local y nacional, contribuirá a las políticas y planes de acción nacionales de adaptación y hará que las mejores prácticas estén disponibles en los foros nacionales e internacionales pertinentes.
