CaribClimate Podcast Ep. 6 - Haiti "Fighting Climate Change"

CaribClimate Podcast

Haiti's vulnerability to climate change is long-noted, with the country's vulnerability being increased due to high levels of deforestation, as well as periodic incidences of extreme weather events. However, all is not lost. Projects such as the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience have invested millions of USD into scaling up climate-resilient initiatives, assisting in fighting climate change.

Joining us for this episode is Addly Celestin, the focal point for Haiti's PPCR project who will discuss what the country's local PPCR project is doing, and how the collaboration with the Regional PPCR has assisted in meeting their objectives.

The CaribClimate Podcast has been commissioned by the Caribbean Regional PPCR. A 5-year, 10.9 Million USD project funded by the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) and administered by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), through the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona Office of Research and Innovation (MORI). The project's objectives were to:

1. Improve the Caribbean's processes to acquire, store, analyze, access and disseminate climate-relevant data.

2. Pilot and scale-up innovative climate-resilient initiatives in the region.
