Jamaica among beneficiaries of Germany-funded climate adaptation programme
The Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC) and the German Financial Cooperation (KfW) have signed a six-year programme aiming to reduce climate change related risks on the Caribbean's coastal population.
The Ecosystem-Based Approaches for Climate Change Adaptation in Coastal Zones of Small Island Developing States in the Caribbean (EBACC) programme will be implemented in Jamaica, St Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines.
The programme includes investments in sustainable improvements of coastal ecosystems, relevant for climate change adaptation, as well as knowledge management and project support and monitoring.
