Resumen
Descripción
In celebration of World International Mother Earth Day (IMED) on April 22, 2024, the Caribbean Climate Responsive Agriculture Forum - CCRAF collaborated with the IICA Trinidad and Tobago Delegation to deliver a session to discuss the real and relative costs of community-based green livelihoods and businesses as viable tools to drive, mainstream, and sustain nature-based and ecosystem-based adaptation and geoengineering solutions for climate action.
The session sought to reiterate that changing practices towards a ‘for the planet’ focus must also ensure that a ‘for the people’ benefits are engendered, if actions are to be sustained and mainstreamed beyond awareness campaigns and environmental projects. The session presents situations on the viability of EbA Pillar 3 ‘making use of the ecosystems for socioeconomic benefit’ for mainstreaming climate action. Each situation establishes the environment for EbA/NbS based green business/livelihoods and discuss the competitiveness of their products and services relative to alternative options. A cost of production profile for these businesses is also presented for discussion to aid in the determination of the relative competitiveness and ease of management of these alternative ‘green’ services relative to the contemporary approaches.
