National Climate Change Policy for Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique (2017-2021)

This National Climate Change Policy builds on the foundation laid by the National  
Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan, 2007 – 2011 (NCCSAP). Although the  
NCCSAP was initially targeted to be replaced at the end of 2011, it has continued to  
guide national climate change programming in the period 2012 – 2016. 
The mandate for updating the National Climate Policy was given by Cabinet in  
May 2015. The revision was overseen by the National Climate Change Committee  
(NCCC). The NCCC determined that many aspects of the 2007 - 2011 Strategy  
and Action Plan were still relevant given Grenada’s national circumstances, and  
that it should therefore form the basis upon which the 2017 - 2021 National Climate  
Change Policy should be based. 

The NCCSAP focused on setting the foundation for an organised long-term response to climate change. Some of the strategic objectives of the NCCSAP 2007-2011 have been successfully addressed within concrete actions, of which one main focus was to build local human capacity. This has been continuously developed to assess and respond to climate change on a governmental, technical and educational level.
