Caribbean: from public and private setting adaptation and certainty needed to stimulate action

The document outlines the critical role of Caribbean governments in driving climate resilience through the integration of climate risks into national planning, the building of institutional capacity, and the translation of national policies into local action via local actor networks.

• National policies and institutions are essential for climate adaptation because they provide strategic oversight, regulatory and legal authority, institutional capacity to drive action at various scales, and the ability to access and direct finance flows.
• To foster an enabling environment for local climate action, governments should integrate climate change into national policies and planning, build institutional capacity, and establish links between institutions to facilitate information sharing and learning.
• Translating national policy into local action requires the identification of respected local champions and the use of government bodies to link local actors, including civil society and the private sector.
