A Stakeholder Driven Approach to Adaptation in the East Caribbean

Today was the second day conference held in U.S. Center 2010 in Cancun. The first conference (A Stakeholder Driven Approach to Adaptation in the East Caribbean). During the conference took place an interactive application launched by John Furlow (from USAID).

APMR (Masonic Press Agency of Romania) has launched the first question (There are many small nations in the Caribbeans. Have they any kind of common view in developing a regional plan of protection of the population against cyclones? A multinational system?). The question was answered by Crispin D'Auveragne (representative of the Ministry of Physical Development and Environment - Government of St. Lucia) and Peter A. Murray (Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States). The two have said that yes, there are mechanisms that provide support and operating in several countries, giving people help and advice. Also, the representative from St. Lucia also said that there is a type of insurance against earthquakes and hurricanes.

At the end of the conference APMR raised another issue, asking: Have the Caribbean small countries a propper system/infrastructure of education regarding health and eco firendly way of living?

The answer to this question was offered by Mr. Peter A. Murray, who said that such projects have been initiated to form such an infrastructure. The schools have are implementing programs on climate change.
