Background

The Statistics Division and the Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean of the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), in collaboration with United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission and The Partnership in Statistics for Development in the 21st Century (PARIS21) have been working together since 2020 with selected Caribbean countries at the national level to strengthen institutional and statistical capacities to better produce, disseminate and use environment, climate change and disaster indicators. Work at the country level has helped in identifying coordination and data sharing as the most critical areas where exchange of knowledge and experiences and peer learning at the regional level bring the most value for countries. This final regional workshop as part of the Development Account 12th Tranche (DA12) project on Caribbean SIDS relevant climate change and disasters indicators for evidence-based policies is being organized to share the experiences of the countries through the project and a final compilation of the main products of the project.

Objective

This workshop will be a space for the project management and beneficiary countries to share the results achieved and experiences generated through this mission. The project implementing agencies of the United Nations will show the main results gained in the region and stakeholders from National Statistical Offices, Ministries of Environment, and Emergency and Disaster Management authorities of members and associate members of the Caribbean Development and Cooperation Committee (CDCC) will share their own point of view on the acquired experiences and knowledge gained in the environment, climate change, and disaster statistical areas in their organisations hence of the project.

The objectives of the workshop are to:

  • Enable a safe space for participants to share the specific challenges identified and their own learnings about the coordination and data sharing processes of environment, climate change and disaster statistics.
  • Present the accomplishments of the DA12 project on “Caribbean SIDS relevant climate change and disasters indicators for evidence-based policies”.
