An action plan is being created for Belize in regards to climate change, and the way it can affect the country.  The video explains a little about the process of getting the NCRIP.

 

"A 'climate resilient Belize' is the new mantra for the future investment plan being spearheaded by the Government of Belize and the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development in Belmopan.  The National Climate Resilient Investment Plan (NCRIP) is the first time that all sectors, ministries, communities, and businesses have joined together to initiate a plan to help Belize adapt to current and future climate impacts, including severe flooding that routinely affect its citizens and paralyze its economy.  The NCRIP is expected to be presented in November 2013, with Technical support is provided by the World Bank, Latin America and the Caribbean region and financial support from the EU-funded ACP-EU Natural Disaster Risk Reduction Program managed by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR)."

From belize-travel-blog.chaacreek.com - November 29, 2013 6:47 PM

Great news from the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development.  They are working on a multi-year plan for growth and poverty reduction.  The plan should be finished by July of 2014.  In related news, the GoB is planning on spending 200 million on infrastructure over the next 3 years.

 

"In a solid step forward, The Government of Belize, with financial and technical assistance from the United Nations Development Program is working on something with implications for every Belizean.  The Ministry of Finance and Economic Development has begun work a 'Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy for the Period 2014 to 2017.'  This strategy will be one of a series of medium-term plans working towards realising the vision behind Horizon 2030."

The “Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy" that has begun in 2014 and will continue on until 2017 is an excellent opportunity for Belize. It will help them to plan a way to maintain a stable and flourishing economy while still being sustainable to the environment. Not many countries do that. I just wish I could find a link of the progress so far so I can get a better understanding of where this project is headed. It sounds very promising though.
