Climate Resilient Islands Partnership: An Inter-Regional Partnership on Climate Change Planning and Finance in Small Island Developing States
Commonwealth Secretariat
#SDGAction39885
Description
While a number of organisations in the region work on climate change concerns from their own perspectives (health, agriculture, etc), CCCCC is the only regional body with climate change as its core concern, and addresses this matter in a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary way. The Centre’s experience in its evolution from a regional adaptation programme to fully-fledged institution, and in particular its work in developing an Implementation Plan (2011-2021) for the Regional Framework for Achieving Development Resilient to Climate Change, is of particular value to the partnership and an aspect it has been keen to share with the IOC.
Partners have enacted the spirit of their Memoranda of Understanding through a comprehensive analysis of the three regional organisations to define a practical programme of work. Targeted inter-regional exchanges have taken place, and institutional assessments have created an effective basis for shared services and Centre-to-Centre learning.
Each institution has its strengths and contributions to make in the context of the Partnership:Caribbean Community Climate Change CentreThe Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre coordinates the Caribbean region’s response to climate change. Opened in August 2005, the Centre is the key node for information on climate change issues and on the region’s response to managing and adapting to climate change in the Caribbean. It is a repository and clearing house for regional climate change information and data, and provides climate change-related policy advice and guidelines to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) states.
