Bio Resilience: Nature based solutions for resilient landscapes in Trinidad and Tobago

Year of publication 2024

Place of publication Rome, Italy ;

Product type Project

Synopsis (short abstract) Land degradation, including reduction of biodiversity, topsoil loss and other forms of soil degradation continues to be a major environmental concern and issue in Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) including Trinidad and Tobago (T&T). This brings increased climate-related risk and food insecurity which was underscored as a major area of concern by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Nature-based Solutions for Resilient Landscapes in Trinidad and Tobago – BioResilience project will work towards nature-positive development and increased food security in T&T, including nature-based solutions (NbS) that halt current land degradation trends, increase biodiversity and provide resilience to climate change impacts in the long run.

    Making Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries More Sustainable and Resilient through Use of Nature-Based Solutions - GCP/GLO/436/IRE 2024

    Nature based solutions (NBS) in agriculture and food systems encompass people centred and regenerative approaches targeted at restoring, sustainably managing and conserving the natural capital needed to buffer food systems and the livelihoods dependent upon them against shocks and crises, while supporting the achievement of sustainable development, climate and biodiversity goals. Considering the potential benefits to be derived from their application, a concerted effort is needed to scale up and optimize the use of NBS, integrating them into wider food system risk management, development and climate action strategies, such as disaster risk reduction, adaptation and mitigation. To support countries in optimizing the use of agricultural NBS, the project supported the development of a multidisciplinary diagnostic, planning and monitoring framework for investments at local and national levels. The tool aims to support countries to conduct better landscape planning and to mainstream issues of natural capital, ecosystem services and biodiversity into planning and investment decision making.
