Relevant Context
As a small-island developing state (SIDS), Cuba is aware of its vulnerabilities to climate change, i.e., sea level rise, hurricanes and cyclone threats on the coastline and mainland, with periods of extreme flooding and drought (affecting the agricultural sector, human health and biodiversity).
Process for Developing NDC
In 1994, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (CITMA), was created as the entity responsible for proposing environmental policy and managing its implementation. Later, in 1997, the National Assembly of People's Power passed Law 81 of the environment, which has provided the basis for important complementary laws, regulations and other instruments of environmental management, including regulatory and state supervision elements. Among the main tools that the country has had to implement its environmental policy, they have been the National Environmental Strategy, sectoral and territorial.
Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism
Plans to form an environmental monitoring network that allows systematic assessment of climate and environmental trends for decision-making.
Summary of Gender Reference
No mention of gender or women, but mention of vulnerability of population in the realm of adaptation by reducing the vulnerability of the country in the health sector, creating better knowledge and understanding of the relationships between climate variability, climate change and human health, in two essential areas: infectious diseases and System Monitoring and Alert early in the sector.
