UNDP in Suriname
Environment, climate change and natural resource management
If the environment, climate change, and natural resource management programme enables State and non-State institutions, systems, micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, and individuals to be change agents and implement inclusive and nature-based solutions that are data-driven, utilize the best applicable digital planning tools, and target the most deprived and marginalized groups, then it results in enhanced, inclusive, gender-responsive, and risk-informed climate change mitigation actions towards building resilient communities in Suriname.
The UNDP portfolio on the environment and climate change, the largest for the country office, continues to be supported by ongoing partners. UNDP supports the NCCR on disaster risk reduction in the event of natural hazards, particularly floods. The evaluation of the climate change project finds that targets are met, reaching over 1,800 community members in two districts, setting the stage for ongoing support to climate action.
