The new projects aim to identify and better understand evolving climate risks, vulnerabilities, and adaptive capacity for islands in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
The Adaptation Sciences (AdSci) program contributed to a number of coastal blue carbon accomplishments in 2023.
The Adaptation Sciences program is announcing 11 new two-year projects in Fiscal Year 2023 that aim to identify and better understand evolving climate risks, vulnerabilities and adaptive capacity for islands in the Caribbean and the Pacific.

NOAA programs and partners played a key role throughout the planning and implementation of the event, providing technical insight and sharing research findings relevant to island solutions.
The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) Coastal Carbon Network (CCN) released on April 22nd, 2024 a first of its kind report on the latest state of available blue carbon data.
The report highlighted NOAA’s Blue Carbon Inventory Project’s international collaboration, specifically regarding two workshops in Ghana.
The project’s overarching objective is to holistically evaluate strategies that not only enhance Crisfield, MD’s resilience to the physical impacts of flooding and sea level rise but also align with locally identified community goals.

The effort is part of NOAA’s support for the President’s Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience (PREPARE) and the U.S.- Caribbean Partnership to Combat the Climate Crisis 2030 (PACC2030) and utilizes funding provided through a partnership with the U.S. Department of State to enhance climate resilience and adaptation in the Caribbean.
NOAA works closely with its partners in the Caribbean to shape understanding about climate and health, and support the development of knowledge to help inform decisions and manage risk.
The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) and the Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program, NOAA CAP/RISA teams, publish a new article examining the vulnerability of the water sector in rural, predominantly Indigenous and underserved coastal areas.
