United Nations Development Programme Annotated Project Document template for nationally implemented projects financed by the GEF/LDCF/SCCF Trust Funds Project title: Incorporating multiple environmental considerations and their economic implications into the management of landscapes, forests and production sectors in Cuba Country: Cuba Implementing Partner: National Centre for Management Arrangements: Protected Areas (CNAP) of the Ministry of Science, National Implementation Modality Technology and Environment (CITMA)/ (NIM) UNDAF/Country Programme Outcome: Productive and services sectors strengthen the integration of environmental considerations, including energy and adaptation to climate change, into their development plans UNDP Strategic Plan Output: 1.3 Solutions developed at national and sub‐national levels for sustainable management of natural resources, ecosystem services, chemicals and waste UNDP Social and Environmental Screening Category: UNDP Gender Marker: 2 Low Atlas Project ID/Award ID number: 00094887 Atlas Output ID/Project ID number: 00098961 UNDP‐GEF PIMS ID number: 5760 GEF ID number: 9429 Planned start date: 1st November 2018 Planned end date: 31st December 2024 LPAC date: 17th May 2018 Brief project description: The project will promote the generation of multiple global environmental benefits (GEBs) based on the integrated economic valuation of ecosystem goods and services, as a tool for decision‐making at different levels. Specifically, it will address threats associated with the growth of mass tourism, the emission of liquid wastes from industrial, extractive and domestic sources, unsustainable agriculture, marine transport and port operations. It will promote the application of an integrated landscape‐wide management approach to recognise the spatial dimensions of threat drivers, and the mainstreaming of environmental considerations into production practices; it will also develop capacities to ensure that decision‐making and planning are based on sound information regarding ecosystem conditions, ecosystem goods and services, threats, and associated economic implications. The project will consist of three components: 1) Legal, policy and institutional frameworks in key sectors optimising the generation of GEBs; 2) Tools including targeted scenario analysis guiding decision‐makers on the implications of different courses of action in the target sectors affecting natural resources and global environmental values and 3) Pilot experiences in 5 selected target localities generating, validating and demonstrating mechanisms for optimizing and internalizing the values of ecosystem goods and services. 1 | Page I.
