The Environmental Governance programme seeks to better understand and influence the philosophies and mechanisms that underpin the management of the Caribbean’s natural environment. True to the Foundation’s history, a special focus is placed on how decisions are made towards more sustainable management of the environment. Through the projects and initiatives within this programmatic area, the Foundation seeks to influence and support more responsible decision making through approaches such as the collection and use of data; facilitating cross-sectoral consultation and governance mechanisms; and strategic advocacy.
