The Caribbean Climate Change
Adaptation (3CA) Toolkit

IFRC committed to CDEMA CSSSC to use the Climate
Smart Community Disaster Management Module: 2011
 Phase 1: 2011: CDEMA version piloted in





Suriname,
Guyana,
Barbados,
Trinidad and Tobago
and Grenada in 2011

(70+ persons trained)
 Phase 1 feedback: Validation of all content; gendersensitive components to be clearly reflected; more
games and audiovisual materials to reinforce
information; more guidance on incorporation into VCA
tools
www.ifrc.org
Saving lives, changing minds.
The Caribbean Climate Change
Adaptation Toolkit (now 3CA)

Phase 2: Desktop review of the CDEMA version (& other CC tools) between
July and October 2012
 Piloted new version: November 2012 & January 2013 in Suriname, Antigua
and Barbuda & Jamaica, Barbados April 2013 (87 participants trained after 4
pilots)
 Phase 2 feedback:
additional days for training, more time for GIS/GPS, More useful and
contextual videos included, use of technology creating more enthusiasm at
institutional and community level in some countries, improved complementarity
with other CBDRR interventions and tools, clarify use at community level and
integration into VCA

New strategic partnerships
Grenada RC and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) partnership – climate resilient coastal communities
Using VCA techniques socio-ecological-economical vulnerability data gathered – integrating ecosystem services as a
key strategy for building community resilience. National level spatial data-sets (down to census district level) on various
in depth socio-economic and ecological layers, including climate scenarios that were produced in year 2012, are also
used during this process.
Green Response – ACS
Using empirical evidence of the environmental and economic benefits of green products, processes and technologies to
be used in disaster response, develop standards and regulations (framed in Green Response Model Law) that
Caribbean governments can incorporate to promote and facilitate the production and utilisation of such eco-efficient end
environmentally friendly products, tools and processes to be utilised for responding to recovering from disasters
impacting their country.
Approved as a permanent initiative during the XIX th meeting of the Special Committee for Disaster Risk Reduction, held
in Bogota, Colombia 2011.
