South-South Cooperation between Pacific and Caribbean SIDS on Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management (DRM)
Description
Results to be Achieved:1. Identification, documentation and dissemination of best practices on integrated climate change adaptation and disaster management specific to the SIDS context. Sample activities: case studies, presentations at conferences, contributions to on-line networks. 2. Transfer and exchange of technologies currently being used by SIDS for effective, equitable and appropriate disaster risk management and climate change adaptation, between the Pacific and the Caribbean regions. Sample activities: training in storm surge modeling, assessment of climate change impacts in the agricultural sector, manual for climate observers.3. Disaster risk management and climate change adaptation included in the broader development agenda through support for national action planning, mainstreaming and advocacy work in the Pacific and Caribbean regions and countries. Sample activities: guidelines, checklists, position papersMain Activities:• Awareness raising, relationship development and peer learning between the Pacific and the Caribbean.• Documentation and dissemination of lessons learnt via publications and multimedia.
