GCCA+ in the news: Integrated Land Management in St. Lucia and Grenada

Understanding the environmental and cultural contexts of landscape management in the region - by conducting field visits and facilitating stakeholder mapping exercises - is one of the activities of the GCCA+ Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) Project with the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).

The OECS GCCA+ ILM Project is funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the OECS in nine of its Member States. It seeks to optimize the contribution of land to agriculture, food security, climate-change mitigation and adaptation, and the preservation of ecosystems and the essential services they provide. The project will ultimately strengthen the economic, social, and environmental resilience of Member States to the impacts of climate change and other hazards.

During the first field visit in Saint Lucia and Grenada a scientists’ team sought to understand the challenges and opportunities presented by each project and identify the areas where they could provide technical support and learning tools to address context-specific challenges.
