The Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC) last week (May 13-17, 2019) established a sub-data node in Paramaribo, Suriname, to support the Regional Clearinghouse Mechanism, the single largest searchable collection of climate change information on the Caribbean. This brings to six the number of data nodes established with funding from the United States Agency for International Development Climate Change Adaptation Program (USAID CCAP).
Five data-nodes were set up in Grenada, St Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, Guyana and Suriname; and another in St Kitts and Nevis expanded and re-equipped CCAP, a partnership between USAID and the Centre to build resilience to climate change in countries of the Eastern and Southern Caribbean.
