Preemptive adaptation:

• Technical Assistance from CTCN for the development of an Agroforestry Policy, being developed by CATIE
•  Integrated Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment for agriculture, fisheries, water and coastal zone in Central Belize and South-Central Belize developed to identify vulnerabilities in these areas and possible adaptation measures to decrease vulnerabilities identified. 
• Enabling Gender-Responsive Disaster Recovery, Climate and Environmental Resilience in the Caribbean (EnGenDER) regional Project to to integrate gender equality and human-rights based approaches into disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change (CC) adaptation and environmental management frameworks and interventions and identify and address some of the gaps to ensure equal access to DRR and climate change and environment solutions for both men, women, boys and girls.
• Technical Assistance from International Organization for Migration to assess the impacts of climate change on internal migration, focusing on 11 coastal communities.
• Coastal Risk Profile and Adaptation Recommendations considering Climate Change Scenarios for Belize financed by IDB
• Technical cooperation: Knowledge and Innovation: Disaster and Climate-Resilient Coastal Zone Management funded by IDB. A set of climate-resilient Integrated Coastal Zone Management performance indicators were developed by IDB and WRI under this TC and pilot tested in Belize in 2019.

Disaster risk reduction focused strategies and measures through activities under the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, contingency and trust funds, disaster legislation, etc.:

• Climate Vulnerability Reduction Program financed by IDB and being executed by Belize’s Ministry of Works, to reduce Belize’s climate vulnerability and risk through the implementation of climate resilient measures in the tourism sector and improving the governance of Belize’s Disaster Risk Management (DRM)
• Vulnerability and Risk Assessment, and Crisis and Disaster Risk Management –Climate Resilient Plans for Emerging Destinations of Corozal District, Toledo District, Caye Caulker Village and the Mountain Pine Ridge Protected Area developed under the Sustainable Tourism Program II.

No.

Collection and management of data and information (including databases, spatial data, systematic observations, establishing baselines, etc):

• Use of space technologies in systematic observations and geospatial analyses.
• Establishment of a baseline on non-economic and social loss and damage, as well as regarding culture, territory, indigenous knowledge systems, ecosystem services.
• Development of databases and information services to support risk profiling and risk assessment of a variety of timeframes by different actors and stakeholders in their decision-processes.
• Setting up a registry/Mapping of at-risk populations to assess sea level rise induced relocation costs for coastal communities.

Analyses of data and information (including climate change projections, impact analyses, hazard mapping, etc):

• Conduct of pilot loss and damage assessments for certain key agricultural commodities which are vulnerable to climate change, such as rice, aquaculture, and fruits.
• Construction of multivariate impacts and loss databases to support assessments and reporting including through the use of bigdata methods.
• Design of shared database systems to support different ministries and other stakeholders in the country including data collection, storage and sharing protocols and policies.
• Costing of impacts in the present as well as for projected impacts for use in costs-benefit analyses to appraise options.
• Estimation and outreach on future climate change risks to inform investor decisions.
• Development of standardized set of risk assessment guidelines for community/subnational level to prepare and maintain inventories of at-risk assets.
• National-scale site characterization to support hazard mapping, zoning and other land use planning.

 Design and implementation of projects on Loss and Damage:

• Setting up cross-ministerial/sectoral coordination mechanism for the dissemination and linking warnings with early action, and the deployment of emergency assistance for communities.
• Linking national systematic observations and monitoring to regional and global efforts (for relevant variables, hazards and systems).
• Development of alternative livelihood programs, livelihood transformation programs, and vocational training for coastal communities and other at-risk population groups.
• Design of proposals and access to financing for climate information services and early warning systems under the GCF and other funding channels.
• Optimal design of sustainable public works (drainage, transportation and other critical and protective infrastructure).
• Optimizing land use based on available resources (e.g. water resources, energy, etc).
• Optimizing financing between different measures to address risk comprehensively/trade-off analyses in deciding on balance between investment in preemptive measures and measures to address residual risk.
• Sustainable landscape management including nature-based solutions.

Financial instruments (such as insurance, risk pooling, contingency funds, etc):

• Design of combinations of appropriate risk finance tools and instruments applicable to a specific country context and vulnerable groups.
• Development and deployment of forecast-based finance instruments to minimize potential losses to productive systems.
• Design and financing of social protection measures.
• Development of different insurance mechanisms.
• Design of national trust/contingency/recovery funds.
• Development of national finance instruments (bonds, etc).
• Development of curriculum on various relevant aspects of climate change and loss and damage.

Other activities not covered by the above entries:

• Not applicable.

• Implementation of adaptation measures recommended in Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessments, Third and Fourth National Communications
