Opportunity Title:
Island Led Climate and Energy Resilience 2030
Funder/Agency:
Department of State (DOS), Bureau of Oceans - Int. Environmental - Scientific
Opportunity Number:
DFOP0013983
Description:
SIDS need improved tools to assess climate risks and pursue effective adaptive pathways that are developed in coordination with advocates and professionals with expertise on their respective islands. These networks require resources to establish fora for learning and collaboration to tackle climate challenges and grow capacities that suit their needs. Tailoring development goals and decision tools to their realities, in combination with technical expertise, will make islands more resilient in the decades to come.
The goal of this project is to build and expand on existing ILR2030 and SIDS efforts by strengthening partnerships with relevant regional institutions and leveraging existing networks and communities of practice to transition from planning to implementation of locally-led climate adaptation and green growth solutions.
Objective 1: Strengthen interactive, participatory networks and consider the need for 1-2 new Communities of Practice .
Objective 2: Provide direct technical assistance to at least 10 SIDS policymakers and/or practitioners to develop and implement adaptation, clean energy, and sustainable development actions that combat climate change.
Objective 3: Create and implement a lean secretariat function for ILR2030 with clear governance, organizational structure, and efficient communications to oversee and spur network development and maintenance.
