Resilient Cities: Strengthening Climate Readiness in Belize

The objective of this TC is to enhance climate resilience in four underserved Belizean municipalities—Corozal, Dangriga, Punta Gorda, and Benque Viejo—by operationalizing the National Land Use Policy (2025) at the local level and strengthening municipal capacity for climate-informed urban planning, governance, and early warning systems. Beyond its pilot scope, this TC contributes to Belize's broader national agenda on climate resilience and municipal governance by generating scalable, replicable tools, guidelines, and institutional frameworks aligned with the National Climate Change Strategy & Action Plan and the Belize Country Strategy 2026–2030 (Pillar i: Enhancing Institutional Capacity), supporting the decentralized implementation of national policy across the country.
