This country's first Grant-funded national project under the Adaptation Fund will be launched today, Wednesday.

It will look at measures for flood relief in the South Oropouche River Basin.

The US$10 million project aims to increase the resilience of the basin's population and ecosystems to flooding, sea level rise, and increasing water deficit events.

This initiative forms part of Government’s implementation of the National Climate Change Policy which seeks to adapt to the impacts of climate change and climate risks.

The four-year project will be nationally led by the Ministry of Planning and Development and executed by the University of the West Indies through the St. Augustine Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (STACIE).
