This Small Island Developing State (SIDS) in the Caribbean region is the only country in the Americas that belongs to the group of LDCs (Least Developed Countries). Haiti is very vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, exacerbated by the severe environmental degradation and low response capacity of the country. Extreme weather events (hurricanes, droughts, floods) hinder the country's development efforts. As a result, Haiti's priority is climate change adaptation and response to loss and damage.
The development of Haiti's NDCs stems from a broad consensus between the public authorities, civil society and the private sector on the objectives to be achieved. Many stakeholders have thus contributed to the development of the NDCs, which adequately respond to the needs and interests of the Haitian people and are in line with Haiti's strategic development plan (PSDH), National Action for Adaptation to Climate Change (NAPA) and the Second National Communication to the UNFCCC. Regarding the implementation of the NDC, the Haitian Prime Minister will affirm his leadership on the issue, and coordination will be provided by the Ministry of the Environment, in close and continuous collaboration with the National Committee on Climate Change (CNCC) to be set up. This Committee will be made up of representatives of line ministries, local authorities, civil society and the private sector.
The Committee will be responsible for providing oversight, monitoring and reporting on the country's commitment to agreed activities.
Women are taken into account in the implementation phase: gender will need to be mainstreamed throughout the NDC implementation process.
