Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean Findings of First Generation V&A Assessments As a whole, the region is not adapted to current climate; Differentiated vulnerability to climate events; 200 climate related deaths;

Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean Findings of First Generation V&A Assessments (2) Weak institutional frameworks to address climate change, modernization of weather services is a must; There are great uncertainties attached to the results of the assessment due to the unavailability and quality of climate system data; Political willingness & stability issues that makes the region even more vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.

Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean Capacity Building for Stage II Adaptation to Climate Change in Central America Mexico and Cuba

Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean UNFCCC Background Initial Guidance from the COP on Adaptation and Governmental Support: - Decision 11/CP1 on Stage II Adaptation: “Measures, including further capacity building which may be taken to prepare for adaptation as envisaged in Article 4.1(e)”; - Decision 2/CP4 “…..to strengthen climate change regional centers of excellence.” - UNDP-GEF NCSP Workshops Ministerial endorsement in ; Builds upon first generation of I,V&A assessents under the UNFCCC-NC process.
