Climate and Ocean Adaptation and Sustainable Transition (COAST) Programme
Authority: Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Climate and Ocean Adaptation and Sustainable Transition (COAST) programme forms part of the UK's £500m Blue Planet Fund (BPF), a joint FCDO-Defra fund aiming to protect and enhance the marine environment and reduce poverty. BPF will focus on Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS), Pacific SIDS, West Africa, East Africa and South and Southeast Asia.
COAST aims to improve vulnerable coastal communities' resilience to climate change and build their prosperity from a more sustainable use of their marine environment. It focuses on protecting and restoring coastal habitats, small scale fisheries management and sustainable aquaculture. COAST's budget and delivery timeframe will be confirmed during FCDO's internal programme approval process - if conditions are favourable COAST's budget is envisioned to be up to £154m over a minimum of 5 years. This is the second EME – an FCDO-Defra EME was held for the BPF in April 2021.
