British Embassy project awards, 2018-19
UCL won three 2018/19 small grants from the British Embassy in Havana to develop programmes in partnership with Havana University:
- Workshop on Climate Change finance for adaptation in Agriculture.
- Workshop on Climate change finance for mitigation in energy and transport.
- Capacity-building for Havana University’s InCuba Innovation lab.
The two climate change finance workshops were held from November 30th-December 4th, as pre-events for Havana University’s Jornada del Caribe. Capacity-building for InCuba included a visit to the UK by two members of the InCuba team in November 2018, followed by a workshop in Havana and a visit to the UK by one of InCuba’s successful innovators in early 2019.
