Regional Capacity Building Activities in the Caribbean UNFCCC Expert Workshop on Monitoring and Evaluating Capacity- building in Developing Countries Carlos Fuller Deputy Director

Caribbean Planning for Adaptation to Climate Change (CPACC) ● Objective: to support Caribbean countries in preparing to cope with the adverse effects of global climate change particularly sea-level rise, in coastal and marine areas, through vulnerability assessment, adaptation planning and related capacity-building initiatives. ● (a) Strengthen the regional capacity for monitoring and analyzing climate and sea-level dynamics and trends ● (d) Enhance regional and national capabilities to prepare for the advent of global climate change through institutional strengthening and human resource development

Component I: Design and Installation of Sea-level monitoring System ● Capacities of local technicians varied widely ● Capacity to develop applications in CZM and engineering ● Lack of local expertise in GPS surveying

Component II: Establishment of Databases and Information Systems ● IT technology changing rapidly ● Significant PEO required using the web ● Demand for more current information, news and non-technical information ● Support to maintain system

Component III: Inventory of Coastal Resources and Uses ● Successful, instructive and challenging ● Challenges: revised objectives & strategies; demands placed on national counterparts, limited imagery & budgetary cutbacks ● Flexibility necessary ● Regular reviews by key knowledgeable practitioners useful ● Use of national and regional expertise

Component IV: Formulation of Policy Framework for Integrated Adaptation Planning and Management ● Unique as it benefited from lessons learned in other components, ie. Component 6 (Impact & Vulnerability Assessments) ● Redesigned for a more customized approach ● Addressed climate variability rather than climate change to encourage buy-in by policymakers

Component V: Coral Reef Monitoring for Climate Change Impacts ● Government commitment required ● Not enough technical personnel ● PEO required ● Technical workshops and review exercises are invaluable ● Continuous coordination and technical support important for sustainability ● Acquisition of supporting data essential ● Critical importance of continuous dialogue among participating countries

Component VI: Coastal Vulnerability Assessment ● Great need identified in capacity to conduct vulnerability and risk assessments and develop climate change scenarios, ● Lack of data

Component VII: Economic Valuation of Coastal and Marine Resources ● Challenges:  Limited resources and time  Commitment of country teams  Lack of opportunity to conduct more workshops and training sessions  Lack of opportunity to share outputs with other countries ● Enhanced capacity in economic valuation and building of a regional team with experience and knowledge ● Needs:  Development of methodology and capacity to implement  More resources to support regional team building

Component VIII: Formulation of Economic and Regulatory Proposals ● Challenges:  Time and resources too little ● Lessons:  Consensus approach to market-based instruments is critical, politically feasible, requires a PEO strategy, based on economic analysis and health, should include regional compacts, and integrate environmental planning and management

Component 9: GHG Inventory and Vulnerability Assessment of the Agriculture and Water Sectors in St. Vincent and the Grenadines ● Work conducted by domestic consultants, government officials and private entities ● More capacity building required

Adapting to Climate Change in the Caribbean (ACCC) ● Public Education and Outreach (PEO) ● Strengthen regional technical capacity
