Sustainable Livelihoods in the Coastal Zone of Suriname
The NCAP project sought to respond to a need for adaptation measures at a more local level and focused on the elaboration of a more detailed and specific adaptation strategy for Paramaribo and Wanica. This included a feasibility assessment of adaptation measures, a specification of the financial needs for implementing them and the identification of potential (international) financial resources. Policy review, as well as participatory tools with stakeholders, were conducted. In addition, the project sought to contribute towards the formulation of a national climate change policy.
