This project is aimed at supporting efforts by participating countries (Dominica, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines) to implement pilot adaptation measures addressing the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and land degradation along coastal and near-coastal areas. The project complements the goals of the Mainstreaming Adaptation to Climate Change in the Caribbean (MACC) Project and applies the lessons and information gathered through the Caribbean Planning for Adaptation to Climate Change (CPACC) project by piloting the implementation of adaptation measures in countries that have already taken mainstreaming decisions and seek to execute specific measures to address the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and land degradation. This will be achieved through: (i) the detailed design of pilot adaptation measures to reduce expected negative impacts of climate change on marine and terrestrial biodiversity and land degradation; and (ii) the implementation of pilot adaptation investments.
