The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) is an award-winning, independent think tank working to accelerate solutions for a stable climate, sustainable resource management, and fair economies. Our work inspires better decisions and sparks meaningful action to help people and the planet thrive. We shine a light on what can be achieved when governments, businesses, non-profits, and communities come together. IISD’s staff of more than 200 people come from across the globe and from many disciplines. With offices in Winnipeg, Geneva, Ottawa, and Toronto, our work affects lives in more than 100 countries.
The Climate Adaptation and Protected Areas (CAPA) Initiative promotes natural solutions to strengthen climate resilience and protect biodiversity in and around Protected Areas and critical landscapes in the Global South. The initiative’s intervention sites cover marine, coastal, and terrestrial ecosystems and landscapes in Belize, Fiji, and the Greater Virunga and Kavango-Zambezi landscapes. The CAPA Initiative is jointly implemented with the World Wildlife Fund, WWF Africa, and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Fiji and Belize programs.
WCS Belize is an international non-government organization committed to working with communities, government, and other partners to safeguard Belize’s biodiversity and natural resources through integrated landscape and seascape management underpinned by applied research. WCS has long been at the forefront of marine conservation in Belize and has an over 30-year history of providing technical and scientific support. In 2021, under the Maya Forest Corridor Trust, WCS also began the management of 30,000 acres of land entrusted for the benefit of the government and people of Belize to protect and conserve its natural ecosystems and wildlife.
IISD and WCS seek to contract a media consulting team to support the design and implementation of a communication campaign in Belize. Single-source income communities, such as fishing and agricultural communities that are heavily reliant on natural resources and ecosystem services, have high exposure and high sensitivity to climate variations, making them especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. This campaign will support the adoption of supplementary livelihood options for fishing communities that utilize Glovers Reef Marine Reserve and South Water Caye Marine Reserve, as well as communities that buffer the Maya Forest Corridor. These supplementary livelihood options, which integrate nature-based solutions (NBS) for adaptation, are designed to strengthen the economic resilience of stakeholders while reducing the vulnerabilities of biodiversity, ecosystems, and communities to the impacts of climate change.
The campaign should incorporate multiple mass media tools focusing on an Entertainment-Education approach. The objectives include the following:
