Le projet Jamaica Urban Solutions for the Environment (J-USE) vise à accroître la résilience au changement climatique dans les zones urbaines de la Jamaïque en mettant en œuvre des solutions fondées sur la nature qui répondent aux besoins de tous les sexes et de tous les groupes sociaux. Il vise à répondre à l'impact accru du changement climatique sur les zones urbaines, où vivent plus de 56 % des Jamaïcains. Ces effets comprennent les inondations, les sécheresses plus fréquentes, plus intenses et plus durables, et la hausse des températures. Le projet J-USE cherche à mettre en œuvre 30 projets de résilience dans des zones urbaines ciblées en utilisant les fonds d'Affaires mondiales Canada. Il prévoit d'augmenter le nombre et la localisation géographique de ces projets en utilisant les fonds générés par le mécanisme de financement durable. Les activités de ce projet comprennent: 1) améliorer la capacité des principales parties prenantes, telles que le gouvernement, le secteur privé et les organisations de la société civile, à concevoir et à mettre en œuvre des solutions NBS efficaces; 2) créer un mécanisme de financement durable et innovant pour les NBS urbains qui est géré par la Fondation environnementale de la Jamaïque.
The Jamaica Urban Solutions for the Environment (J-USE) project aims to increase climate change resilience in urban areas of Jamaica by implementing nature-based solutions (NBS) that meet the needs of all genders and social groups. It seeks to address the increased impact of climate change affecting urban areas, where over 56% of Jamaicans live. These impacts include flooding, more frequent, intense, and long-lasting droughts, and rising temperatures. The J-USE project seeks to implement 30 resilience projects in targeted urban areas using GAC funds. It anticipates scaling the number and geographic location of these projects using funds generated through the sustainable funding mechanism. Project activities include: (1) improving the capacity of key stakeholders, such as government, private sector and civil society organisations, to design and implement effective NBS solutions; and (2) creating a sustainable and innovative funding mechanism for urban-NBS that is managed by the Environmental Foundation of Jamaica.
