SEI partnered with the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) to analyse the degree of coherence between national policies and plans focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaption in the Caribbean Region. Although countries have achieved some progress, there is still work to do, and the authors propose seven recommendations to further advance this task.
UNDRR Regional Office for the Americas and the Caribbean, in partnership with the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), have conducted a study on the degree of coherence between national policies and plans focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), DRR and CCA in the Caribbean Region. This regional analysis aimed at enhancing our understanding of the level of and approaches to coherence of planning and policy implementation mechanisms in countries across the Caribbean Region.
The analysis indicates that all sixteen selected Caribbean countries have achieved an overall partial degree of coherence between sustainable development, CCA, and DRR policies, strategies, and plans.
Some of the key recommendations to strengthen coherence in the Caribbean region:
Project / The Resilient Coasts Caribbean Sea project will develop Living Labs for coastal ecosystem management using nature-based solutions.
Feature / Coastal communities can combat climate threats by safeguarding ecosystems like mangroves and coral reefs.
Project / Vulnerable countries are already experiencing severe losses and damages from unavoidable climate change impacts. They urgently need financial support.
