However, if the project achieves its stated aims, then it will contribute - again indirectly - to investment in climate-focused projects in support of future NDC ambitions, which in turn will lead to technology transfer and job creation in priority sectors. Assuming this transition to sustainable production and consumption is based on models of equitable and gender-sensitive development, this will result in strong socio-economic benefits, in line with the ambition of the national Vision 2040. The project will in fact contribute to the improvement of local and global environmental conditions through enhancing transparency related to GHG emissions, impacts of climate change, and mitigation and adaptation actions in the country. The created data and knowledge platform will improve The Bahamas's knowledge of its own efforts to curb emissions and build resilience. Moreover, as the system is developed, its linkages with other environmental data will also be analysed, established and / or improved. Crucially, its relationship to the transparency system for the National Development Strategy, Vision 2040 and the progress on the SDGs, will prove to be a powerful tool to track and evaluate policies. In fact, this project will also assist The Bahamas in achieving its Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 13 by supporting the integration of climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning; building knowledge and improving education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning, and promotion of mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in the country. The project will additionally contribute to achieving SDG 5 by supporting the empowerment of women in decision-making, land ownership and through gender-sensitive budgeting. The strengthened national transparency system will enable The Bahamas to better track and manage its resources. Thus, it will allow for interventions to be planned, executed and evaluated quicker. The better knowledge around adaptation, and the M&E system established will serve to provide information about climate change impacts on these sectors. For agriculture, for example, this can mean better evidence on increasing droughts that could help farmers make informed decisions about irrigation practices and enable the government to prioritise sector resources toward drought management programmes for those affected. The Bahamas' planned climate actions will require public intervention in the form of investments. With better climate data systems, The Bahamas will be able to better track and evaluate the impact of the policies, introducing adjustments to achieve better outcomes. This increased efficiency can free up resources for other public investments and interventions, which in turn could benefit Bahamas socio-economically and this aspect of the system is expected to increase political buy-in for climate policy. Another important benefit lays on the linkage with the national planning processes. The wide array of data compiled throughout the data and knowledge platform will provide a solid basis for informed national policymaking on climate and other related matters, an element that will be fully developed as part of Output 1.1. A virtuous cycle is expected to result from the combination of coherent data that improves the consistency of climate projections and business-as-usual scenarios and leads to the further refinement of the country’s NDCs.Global Environment Facility UNEP Department of Environmental Planning and Protection (DEPP) CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date Actual Completion Date ' Bahamas Nassau 25.05823 -77.34306 +![cdata[Environmental policy and administrative management]]+ 451400.00 451400.00 451400.00 340000 UNEP Department of Environmental Planning and Protection (DEPP) 207606 UNEP Department of Environmental Planning and Protection (DEPP) 557700 UNEP Department of Environmental Planning and Protection (DEPP) 1354200 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-10694 Global Environment Facility To enhance climate-resilient food production across productive agricultural landscapes through sound Integrated Landscape Management and Land Degradation Neutrality approaches in The Bahamas. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.This project makes a significant contribution to the implementation of The Bahamas commitments to the three Rio Conventions, as expressed in the country’s UNCCD National Action Plan, the NBSAP, and the INDC and National Communications to the UNFCCC. The UNCCD NAP aims to address the main causes of land degradation and to combat drought through the promotion of alternative livelihoods, sustainable agricultural practices, the development and efficient use of energy, and the strengthening of capacities for assessment and observation. This project will impact productive Bahamian agricultural landscapes using sound ILM approaches. Primary objectives are to enhance climate-resilient food production using CSA; and achieve LDN by the judicial implementation of SLM Approaches and Technologies (AT). The activities being implemented will contribute to expanded livelihood opportunities through uptake of gender-sensitive business investment plans and market access mechanisms, giving rise to business development services and capacity building to facilitate enhanced production of agricultural and other value-added products from restored landscapes. It will contribute to the desired impacts of improved and sustainable crop yields and healthy, resilient and productive ecosystems toward improved livelihoods and well-being and expanded global environmental benefits.Global Environment Facility UNEP Department of Environmental Planning Protection CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Bahamas +![cdata[Forestry development]]+ 571758 UNEP Department of Environmental Planning & Protection 1501317 UNEP Department of Environmental Planning & Protection 5717580 GEF
