According to Yvonne Helle, Director of United Nations Program for Development Main (UNDP) in Haiti "This study is a tool for decision in the planning of sustainable development and the selection of priority areas for adaptation actions [...] it must enable the country to provide in the national budget additional funds to implement adaptation measures to face prolonged periods of drought, among others, causing considerable losses in all sectors especially in the agriculture." [representing 26% of GDP in Haiti. Source CCI Haiti]. "Haiti is particularly vulnerable to climate change and the cost of the damage will be Pharaonic if no action is undertaken strategically and operationally," said Dorine Jean Paul, head of the project "Strengthening the adaptive capacity of coastal communities of Haiti face the climate change" of the UNDP, funded by the Global Environment Fund (GEF) and the Canadian Agency for International Development (CIDA). Herold Etienne, Director General of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, speaking at the presentation workshop of the study, acknowledged that projections on economic and financial terms, compared to climate change portend an uncertain future. He pointed out that the Haitian Government was aware of all eventualities and was ready to take clear steps to stop this bleeding.
