Building Awareness on Climate Resilient Infrastructure in Suriname

Together with Canada’s Technical Assistance Partnership (TAP) Expert Deployment Mechanism, CRI is working collaboratively with the Government of Suriname Ministry of Spatial Planning and Environment to address climate change priorities of the National Development Plan and National Adaptation Plan (NAP).  

The initiative aims to improve data and information collection systems and integrate climate change considerations into economic development policies, plans, and programs. It will enhance technical capacity, include gender inequalities in climate change adaptation initiatives, and identify and increase access to financing and investment geared toward climate change adaptation. The work will involve the development of a strategy to address strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats identified in the assessment and provide training and technical assistance to support the implementation of the strategy, with a focus on its most essential and urgent components.
