Resilient Caribbean Communities: Ecosystem-based Adaptation and forest restoration in vulnerable rural communities within the Caribbean Biological Corridor
The level of ecosystem diversity in the Caribbean is among the highest in the world. However, both the region and its valuable ecosystems are under severe threat from the impacts of climate change and human overuse. The project uses ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) measures to increase the resilience and adaptability of the people and ecosystems in the partner countries, thus improving the livelihoods of the rural population at the same time.
