Climate Resilient Coastal Mangement and Infrastructure Program

implementation

The program's objective is to build resilience to coastal risks (including those associated with climate change) through sustainable coastal protection infrastructure, including natural infrastructure and integrated management of the coast. Specifically, the program will finance science-basedshoreline stabilization and coastal flooding control measures in East Grand Bahama (EGB), Central Long Island and Nassau/Junkanoo Beach in New Providence, natural infrastructure for hazard resilience through restoration of coastal natural habitats (mangroves, reefs) in Andros and institutional strengthening for coastal risk management. This operation is expected to result in a reduction of economic losses due to natural disasters and an increase in local economic activity through coastal resilience
