Sustainable Island Resource Management Zoning Plan (SIRMZP) of Antigua and Barbuda
National strategic land-use framework for Antigua and Barbuda that updates the National Physical Development Plan with a 20-year horizon. It integrates ecological studies, geographic-sectoral analysis, and low-carbon development scenarios to optimize the productive use of natural resources — including agricultural land, fisheries, and tourism — without exceeding the resilience of coastal, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems.
Policy Development Plan 2017–2021 of Suriname
Constitutionally mandated five-year national development plan setting Suriname's policy priorities and targets for 2017–2021. Organized around four development pillars, the fourth — Utilization and Protection of the Environment — explicitly integrates climate change as a cross-cutting issue, with provisions on sea-level rise, disaster management, emissions reduction, and agriculture-related environmental threats. The plan establishes a two-track agricultural development policy, lays the groundwork for energy transition and forest protection, and provides the overarching framework for the country's NAP and NDC.

National Adaptation Strategy to Address Climate Change in the Agriculture Sector in Belize
Sectoral strategy and action plan defining concrete adaptation measures for Belize's agricultural sector in response to climate change. Addresses projected impacts on the country's main export commodities (sugarcane, citrus, banana, rice, corn, beans, livestock, and aquaculture) through six thematic axes: excess rainfall and flooding, water deficit and drought, rainfall variability, temperature rise, pest and disease shifts, and soil degradation. Cross-cutting measures include crop insurance, farmer group resilience, and agrometeorological early warning systems.

Chocolate Island — Cocoa, Carbon and Community
The objective of the project is to propel the Trinidad and Tobago cocoa and chocolate industry forward in a post pandemic and ESGcompliant world, by providing an innovative approach to attracting impact investors through a bundled investment package of "Cocoa, Carbon and Community" thus providing not only a financial return on investment but also environmental and social returns as well.
Covid-19 impacts on Indigenous food sovereignty, livelihoods and biodiversity - Guyana
This project assess the impacts of Covid-19 on Indigenous traditional farming. Using farm surveys, participatory video and satellite radar analysis, it aims to investigate short term biodiversity, traditional knowledge, and livelihood impacts of Covid-related resurgence in traditional forest-based rotational farming, and collate lessons learnt to sustain the benefits and mitigate the deleterious effects in the long-term. Findings will inform policies incentivising Indigenous food sovereignty, biodiversity conservation and resilience to escalating disruptive events, from pandemics to climate change weather extremes.
Sustainable Land Management in the Artibonite River Transboundary Basin.
This agro-environmental project focused on combating severe land degradation and deforestation within the Artibonite River basin. By implementing agroforestry systems and soil conservation techniques (such as terracing and live barriers), the project successfully restored the land's productive capacity. The initiative integrated reforestation with food production, strengthening local governance through watershed committees and farmer field schools. This approach ensured that ecosystem protection generated direct economic benefits for rural communities while enhancing climate resilience.
