Also available in:
La Estrategia Regional para la Gestión de Riesgo de Desastres en el Sector Agrícola y la Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional en América Latina y el Caribe 2018-2030 (en adelante Estrategia) fue adoptada en el marco de la IV Reunión Ministerial de Agricultura Familiar y Desarrollo Rural de la Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños (CELAC) . Tiene por objetivo “prevenir la aparición de nuevos riesgos de desastres y reducir los existentes en el sector agrícola y la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional implementando medidas integradas e inclusivas de índole económica, financiera, estructural, jurídica, social, sanitaria, cultural, educativa, ambiental, tecnológica, política e institucional que refuercen la resiliencia”. Para lograr esto, la Estrategia propone una serie de medidas alineadas con las cuatro prioridades del Marco de Sendai para la Reducción del Riesgo 2015-2030 para propiciar la acción colaborativa, coordinada y coherente entre países a través de iniciativas de valor añadido regional, subregional y muti-país para el fortalecimiento de la incorporación de la GRD y la Adaptación al Cambio Climático (ACC) en el sector agrícola. -

No results found.Natural disasters such as drought, hurricanes, earthquakes and floods have had devastating impacts on Caribbean economies and livelihoods over the last decade. The active hurricane season of 2004 resulted in damages in the Caribbean amounting to USD 3.1 billion1, with catastrophic impacts on the gross domestic product (GDP) of member countries, particularly in Grenada (estimated at 200 percent of GDP2). These shocks have serious macroeconomic effects which have increased the incidence of poverty and which could even lead to economic crises in the country. The Agriculture Sector in particular, has been severely affected, by these weatherrelated and seismic events. Consequently, the region’s food and nutrition security has been impacted. These impacts include, inter alia, loss of crops and livestock, reduced agricultural productivity, malnutrition, forest fires, destruction of housing for livestock, increased migration of fish from the region, high food prices and loss of livelihoods of affected farmers and fisherfolk. -
