CLEAR has been commissioned by GIZ to undertake a short study to examine the management of climate change induced loss and damage in artisanal fisheries in the Caribbean. The project is part of a larger programme on “Risk Assessment and Management for Adaptation to Climate Change” funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) that is being implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
The study will contribute to a better understanding of climate risk management challenges in artisanal coastal and pelagic fisheries and aquaculture, and provide recommendations regarding portfolio development for international and German Development Cooperation. These considerations may also address risk transfer mechanisms like climate risk insurance schemes for the fisheries sector.
