About
This session showcases several multi-year projects: two in the Caribbean and one in Latin America. The purpose of these projects is ultimately to improve the formulation of evidence-based national and regional policies for climate change and trade. The projects should enhance the statistical and analytical capacities of selected Caribbean and Latin American states in utilizing data science and AI in combination with novel and national sources for the timely monitoring of maritime transport, tourism, trade, fisheries and ecosystem services related to the coastal areas and the analysis of their CO2 emissions, as well as the associated environmental-economic accounts.
