FINCAPES
is
an
international
research
and
teaching
project
in
collaboration
with
Indonesian
partners
on
climate-change
adaptation
and
mitigation
strategies
in
the
country.
Jointly
undertaken
by
the
University
of
Waterloo’s
Faculty
of
Mathematics
and
Faculty
of
Environment,
the
project
is
funded
by
Global
Affairs
Canada
and
is
a
5.5-year
gender
responsive
initiative
to
work
with
Indonesian
partners
to
build
capacity
to
adapt
and
mitigate
the
impacts
of
climate
change
and
conserve
biodiversity.
FINCAPES
will
provide
technical
assistance
and
capacity
building
to
help
our
Indonesian
partners
strengthen:
- Quantification and modelling of climate change-exacerbated flood risks, and identification of strategies to mitigate related financial loss and damage
- Conservation and restoration of peatland and mangrove ecosystems
- Biodiversity conservation
- Policy research to support the Government of Indonesia’s ambitious climate finance programs
At its heart FINCAPES is a multidisciplinary collaboration. This exclusive launch is an opportunity to learn more and get involved with the project as well as meet the project team at Waterloo and our Indonesian partners whose first-hand experience with the fight against climate change is the inspiration for the program.
