| The Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua is one of the most vulnerable regions related to the negative effects of climate change worldwide.
Within this project the project consortium aims to build local scientific capacity at BICU with the support and guidance from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU). BOKU can help to elaborate a climate research agenda for the CCO. This agenda focuses on traditional indigenous and afro descendant knowledge, gender issues, as well as on mainstreaming climate change in BICU's academia and environmental policies.
• BICU aims to strengthen its institutional capacities and position itself as an organization of reference in climate change related topics.
• With these capacities BICU will be able to provide guidance and assistance to local authorities for policymaking and strategic planning.
