Coastal Protection for Climate Change Adaptation in the Small Island States in the Caribbean

Brief Description:

The Project is aimed to follow a bottom-up approach in which governmental and non-governmental institutions in participating countries can apply with proposals to pursue Local Adaptation Measures. It is comprised of two main components: a) Investments for sustainable improvements of coastal ecosystems relevant for climate change adaptation; and b) Assistance in the preparation and implementation of local adaptation measures. In total, 11 local adaptation projects have been funded in these four countries. Ecologic Institute provides technical assistance to each of the local adaptation projects by co-designing an indicator framework to monitor and assess their effects on coastal ecosystem services.
