The Caribbean Cli­mate-Smart Ac­cel­er­a­tor Inc. (CC­SA) and the In­sti­tute of Char­tered Ac­coun­tants of the Caribbean (ICAC) have signed a Mem­o­ran­dum of Un­der­stand­ing to ad­vance cli­mate-smart trans­for­ma­tion across the re­gion.

The agree­ment was signed by CC­SA Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer Rac­quel Moses and ICAC Pres­i­dent Six­to Coy. It es­tab­lish­es a frame­work for col­lab­o­ra­tion be­tween the two or­gan­i­sa­tions to strength­en the fi­nan­cial readi­ness of cli­mate-re­lat­ed ini­tia­tives and at­tract the fund­ing nec­es­sary to im­ple­ment them.

CC­SA is a re­gion­al non-prof­it or­gan­i­sa­tion fo­cused on build­ing a cli­mate-smart zone through in­vest­ments that en­hance dis­as­ter readi­ness and sup­port sus­tain­able eco­nom­ic growth. ICAC serves as the main re­gion­al body for ac­coun­tants and fi­nance pro­fes­sion­als in the Caribbean and parts of Latin Amer­i­ca. It pro­motes in­ter­na­tion­al stan­dards, pro­fes­sion­al de­vel­op­ment, and re­search across the ac­count­ing and fi­nance sec­tors.
