Enhancing Climate Resilience in Cariforum Countries : technical brief

Abstract

This four-year, €12 million project ‘Enhancing Climate Resilience in CARIFORUM Countries’ is being funded by the European’s Development Fund as part of the Intra-ACP GCCA+ Programme in the Caribbean with an overall objective to support the climate compatible development of the CARIFORUM Countries to combat the negative impacts of climate change, while simultaneously exploring opportunities presented. The resilience of the Caribbean is a keen interest of the global community. Through this project, Member States of CARIFORUM can invest in a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient development path which will unlock short-term gains through jobs and economic growth and deliver longer-term benefits for citizens. These long benefits include ensuring that accurate information is provided to lessen contributions to climate change as well as to be adequately prepared and equipped to handle the impacts of a changing climate in the Caribbean region.
