SIDS that is extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and is already experiencing such impacts.
Grenada’s National Climate Change Committee (NCCC) led meetings, workshops, consultations during the development process of Grenada’s new NDC. Workshops involved key stakeholders and pertained to strategy development and the identification of potential data sources needed to update Grenada’s NDC. Furthermore, gender and youth considerations are said to represent an expansion in scope in comparison to Grenada’s first NDC.
The country emphasizes the importance of access to funding and multilateral and bilateral support in order to implement its second NDC. The NDC Partnership, the UNDP Climate Promise, UNICEF and the OECS Commission will all assist Grenada in creating an implementation plan to ensure the goals and targets are carried out. The country will to the best of its ability adopt a “comprehensive, holistic, and multi-sectoral approach to low-carbon development and climate resilience.”
The inclusion of gender considerations represents an expansion in scope relative to Grenada’s first NDC. These considerations include: Grenada’s NDC is linked to the country’s national policy framework, including its Gender Equality Policy and Action Plan; Grenada has anchored inclusivity as a cornerstone of its development process. The development and implementation of the 2013-2017 Structural Adjustment Process included stakeholders from the major societal groupings – private sector, NGO’s, trade unions, gender and youth, academia and faith based organizations; Grenada is committed to taking a holistic and multi-sectoral approach to low-carbon development and climate resilience, which encompasses education, health, food security, water and sanitation, housing and social protection and to ensure a resilient, inclusive, gender-sensitive, and peaceful society.
