Capacity building for Stage II Adaptation to Climate Change (Central America, Mexico and Cuba)

The goal of this pilot project is to enable a significant number of countries through capacity building to prepare for Stage II adaptation in the context of non-Annex I National Communications, as envisaged by Articles 4.1 (b) (d) (e) of the UNFCCC and Decision 2/CP.4. The objectives of the project are to develop an adaptation policy framework and to prepare national adaptation strategies for a few priority sectors that can be integrated into sustainable development plans of the participating countries. The outputs of the project, Stage II adaptation strategies may be used for preparing second National Communications.
