Port of Spain, 28 June 2024 – In 2023, the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI) expanded its outreach and community engagement by launching two online platforms aimed at strengthening environmental stewardship and sustainable development efforts across the Caribbean. More than just repositories for information, the Caribbean Resilience Knowledge Platform and the Caribbean Local Green-Blue Enterprises (LGEs) Knowledge Platform are dynamic hubs where individuals, communities and organisations can come together to share knowledge, ideas and solutions. We invite you to explore these platforms to contribute your insights and join the collective effort towards a resilient and sustainable Caribbean future.
Caribbean Resilience Knowledge Platform
The Caribbean Resilience Knowledge Platform is an online hub that supports knowledge sharing, learning and collaboration among civil society organisations and their public and private sector partners to scale up action for climate justice and resilience across the region.
Whether it's data on climate patterns, case studies on successful adaptation projects, or toolkits for community resilience planning, this platform provides a wealth of knowledge for anyone seeking to understand and address the challenges facing the Caribbean region. In addition, it creates a space for dialogue and exchange where innovative ideas can take root and flourish by fostering collaboration among researchers, policymakers, practitioners and citizens.
Caribbean Local Green-Blue Enterprises (LGEs) Knowledge Platform
The Caribbean Local Green-Blue Enterprises (LGEs) Knowledge Platform is an online space that showcases a wide range of enterprises and initiatives that are leading the way in sustainable business practices. From eco-friendly tourism ventures to innovative aquaculture projects, these enterprises demonstrate that profitability and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand. Moreover, the platform provides resources and support for aspiring entrepreneurs, connecting them with mentors, investors and collaborators.
