Stratégie de Communications pour le Processus Plan National d’Adaptation (PNA) d’Haïti

The report outlines a comprehensive communication strategy for Haiti's National Adaptation Plan (NAP), launched in August 2019. It identifies key target groups across the public sector, civil society, and private sector, and proposes specific messaging and activities to integrate climate adaptation into national planning and budgeting. The strategy emphasizes the need to reduce information asymmetry and foster a change in public attitude toward climate change, utilizing a mix of digital tools, press relations, and inter-institutional coordination through a proposed Adaptation Coordination Committee (CCA).

• Haiti launched its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process in August 2019 to increase the resilience of its strategic economic sectors, following the 2016 development and 2017 validation of its National Policy to Combat Climate Change (PNCC).
• Climate change poses severe economic risks to Haiti, with recurring floods estimated to impact the economy by 2% of GDP and tropical cyclones costing over 442 million USD annually over a 10-year period.
• Between 1990 and 2016, Haiti was the most affected country by natural disasters in the Caribbean, experiencing 3 droughts, 1 epidemic, 22 floods, and 23 storms and hurricanes, with damages totaling 53 billion dollars.
• The communication strategy targets three primary groups: the public sector (high-ranking officials and communication directors), civil society (journalists, environmental organizations, NGOs, and universities), and the private sector (business leaders and financial institutions).
• A high priority of the strategy is the creation of an Adaptation Coordination Committee (CCA), formed by merging the National Committee on Climate Change (CNCC) and the Environmental Information System (SIE), to authenticate communication tools and supervise actions.
• The strategy identifies the need to integrate Haiti into international climate change networking systems to capitalize on global experiences and strengthen technical and institutional capacities.
• The document proposes a specific set of communication tools for the NAP process, including a dedicated website for the Direction des Changements Climatiques (DCC), blogs, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn), newsletters, press relations, and webinars.
• The strategy aims to sensitize Haitian budgetary authorities to the necessity of allocating public investment funds specifically for climate change adaptation.
• The implementation period for the activities outlined in the strategy is set for one year, from June 2021 to May 2022.
