Caribbean region countries share similar economic and sustainable development challenges, including a small but rapidly growing 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 defenses 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, launched in January 2016, aims to support countries in advancing the process of low-emission risk-resilient development by improving energy security and integrating medium to long-term planning for adaptation to climate change. In the pursuit of this objective, the initiative supports policy innovation through the development of several NAMAs and NAPs that will help guide Caribbean countries towards a green, low-emission and climate-resilient development pathway. The initiative will also support the implementation of actual technology that is both low-emission and advances climate risk management, including demonstration in the target countries. The project also supports strengthening knowledge network in the Caribbean to foster South-South and North-South cooperation through sharing of experiences surrounding climate change, natural hazard risk and resilience.Participating countries include Belize, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Cooperative Republic of Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and the Republic of...
