The partnership also facilitated the development of an Caribbean-specific econometric model that could be utilised by countries and regional and national organisations in projecting the economic and social costs of climate change.

ECLAC is currently partnering with CARICOM in preparation of a 5-year evaluation on implementation of the Economic Partnership Agreement that Caribbean SIDS have with the European Union.
