BBRFQ61981 - Construction of Community Footpaths at Barrouallie and Fair Hall in St. Vincent and the Grenadines


Caribbean countries share similar economic and sustainable development challenges, including a small population, remoteness, susceptibility to natural disasters, and most importantly, vulnerability to climate change. Given the current condition of the marine environment, most coastal areas have few defences against the raging surfs of hurricanes and tropical storms, and the likely consequences would be significant coastal damage including beach erosion and infrastructure damage. Negative impacts associated to climate change on land, water resources and biodiversity have also been predicted, and ultimately, tourism and agriculture will be negatively impacted by these changes. Meanwhile, Caribbean countries emit such relatively small amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, which mean that they will suffer disproportionately from the impacts of climate change.The Japan-Caribbean Climate Change Partnership aims to support the implementation of actual technology that is both low-emission and advances climate risk management, including demonstration in the target countries. To this end, eight demonstration projects are planned for St. Vincent and the Grenadines which are tailored to meet the specific needs and vulnerabilities with local communities. Specifically, the required services will support one approved pilot initiative in relation to Climate resilience and disaster risk management activities with emphasis on small-scale infrastructure implementation to reduce climate change and disaster-induced losses.
