Climate Change
Ocean Caraibes supports the development of strategic national and regional mitigation and adaptation strategies, tackling environmental, economic and social concerns. We can help decision makers and technical leaders balance the difficult trade-offs and resource constraints in dealing with climate change.
Urgent actions need be taken in the next few years in planning ahead for the effect of climate change related to global warming.
​Our approach is holistic and multidisciplinary, building upon recommendations of international bodies of reference such as the UNFCCC and the Kyoto convention. Our advisory services envisage not only the specific mitigation strategies necessary for the crucial need of reducing GHG emissions, but as well anticipate and address serious consequences on human health, biodiversity and land management, including vulnerable coastal zones.
Dealing With Climate Change
​​Changes caused by climate change effect each country in ways specific to their unique environment . Different policies, consensus-building alternatives and difficult trade-offs among legitimate interests effect how and what can be done. Plus, cost-benefit effectiveness is often a a balancing act in a complex scenario.
We can assist with design + implementation and of conservation and management plans, aiming at the reduction of green-house gas emissions, biodiversity protection and more, including the implementation of FLEGT and FSC certification schemes and REDD+ programmes.
