Answer:In particular, by combining different instruments to advance key policies and promote resilience to climate change impacts—while moving toward low-carbon economies—the IDB’s program has been strategic and innovative in a few countries (Barbados, Dominican Republic, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago). In terms of mitigation, the IDB’s value added in the Caribbean has involved supporting meaningful policy reforms to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency measures through policy-based lending, while in adaptation it has promoted an integrated approach to coastal zone management (CZM) combining physical infrastructure investments with knowledge generation. The IDB did not have a regional strategy to guide climate change-related support in Caribbean SIDS. Instead, individual country strategies have been the main vehicle to address these challenges, which translated into uneven priorities across the region.
