Haiti: Increasing Haiti’s Resilience to Natural Disasters and Promoting Sustainable Practices: 2008-2022

UNEP’s work in Haiti aims at building effective community resilience models through promoting nature-based solutions to disasters risk reduction and sustainable development. This goal implies to work on a broad range of activities, including agroecology, marine environmental management, sustainable livelihoods and energy access, development of protected areas and environmental governance. In the South Department, the programme focuses on integrated practical action in a highly vulnerable region –nonetheless promising – fostering landscape management, restoring ecosystems and developing sustainable livelihoods in agriculture, fisheries and eco-tourism. At national level, the programme reinforces environmental governance and capacities with public institutions.
