Analysis of Original NDC

Timeframe

Now until 2030

Relevant context

SIDS highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

Process for developing NDC

The process of developing Trinidad and Tobago's Carbon Reduction Strategy and hence the INDC involved wide stakeholder consultation and participation, including through its Climate Change Focal Point Network consisting of over 175 representatives of government ministries, agencies and institutions, academia, the private and industrial sectors, non-governmental organisations, civil society organisations, and fiduciary organisations. This process was finalised in 2014 and lasted for three (3) years during which business-as-usual scenarios were developed for each sector to the year 2040 although the NDC presented goes to the year 2030, involving a conservative (lower economic growth) and optimistic (higher economic growth).

Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism

Trinidad and Tobago has begun to put in place the necessary policy and legislative framework and has committed to unconditional mitigation action consistent with the implementation of the National Climate Change Policy.

Summary of gender reference

Trinité-et-Tobago a par ailleurs commencé à mettre en place le cadre politique et législatif requis, et s’est engagé à entreprendre des mesures d’atténuation inconditionnelles en adéquation avec sa stratégie de mise en œuvre de la politique nationale sur le changement climatique.
