Grenada National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (2016-2020)

This document constitutes a revision and updating of Grenada’s National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan pursuant to its obligations under the Convention on Biological diversity.

The Government of Grenada with assistance from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), through the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has elaborated the revised NBSAP in accordance with Article 6 of the Convention and with guidance in Decision IX/9 of the Conference of the Parties and the Aichi targets of the Convention on Biological Diversity. The revised NBSAP is and geared to facilitate the integration of biodiversity conservation and sustainable use into national decision making and mainstreaming across all sectors of the national economy and policy making framework.

Grenada prepared and submitted its first NBSAP in 2000 in light of the 2010 Global Biodiversity Strategy. The revised NBSAP builds on the earlier document and reflects the current socio economic and environmental realities facing the country.

 The 2011-2020 Strategic Plan for Biodiversity and the Aichi Targets provided the global backdrop for the revised NBSAP. The NBSAP has been prepared in parallel with Grenada Fifth National Report to the Convention which was submitted to the Secretariat of the Convention in July 2014. The strategy outlined in this document therefore emanates from the status of Grenada’s biodiversity contained in the Fifth National Report and covers the period 2015-2020. Thus the key biodiversity information including the status and trends are not repeated or referenced in detail in this document
