ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, Nov 26, CMC – A one-day conference aimed at producing a five-year National Climate Change Adaptation Plan (NAP) that reflects broad stakeholder support gets underway here on Wednesday.
The Ministry of Climate Resilience, the Environment, and Renewable Energy said the event is intended to produce a document for submission to the National Climate Change Committee for endorsement, and subsequently, to Cabinet for approval.
“The validation provides stakeholders with an opportunity to verify the goals, objectives, measures, and timelines outlined in the revised NAP. This process ensures consensus
and prepares the document for submission to the National Climate Change Committee (NCCC) and ultimately, to Cabinet for approval,” said Dr. Roxanne Graham, National Climate Adaptation Officer with the National Adaptation Plan Project.
“This event is not just about validating a document. It’s about charting a clear path forward, from planning to action, so that we can build a climate-resilient Grenada,” she added.
The ministry said that the 2025-30 NAP event will be addressed by Climate Resilience, the
Environment and Renewable Energy Minister, Kerryne James, and that stakeholders will also hear from major contributors to the revision process, including representatives from G-CREWS Project and the NAP Global Network.
It said the discussions will center on key differences between the updated NAP and its predecessor, including alignment with Grenada’s Second Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), strategic actions and measures, emphasising the transition from planning to
Implementation as well as Financial advisory insights, with a roundtable discussion on climate finance access, adaptation financing, and broader financial strategies for implementing the plan.
The ministry said it remains committed to a transparent, inclusive, and results-driven process to combat the challenges of climate change.
