Saint Lucia: National adaptation plan 2018-2028
Saint Lucia’s national adaptation plan (NAP) is a 10-year process consisting of a plan with key cross-sectoral and sectoral adaptation measures presented in this document for eight sectors and areas. The plan's adaptation measures contribute to the achievement of 13 overarching outcomes and two overarching adaptation goals, namely: To enhance the national enabling environment for climate-related adaptation and risk reduction action within and across development sectors; and to accelerate the implementation of climate adaptation and risk reduction actions critical to safeguarding the country’s socioeconomic and environmental systems.
Concretely, the NAP includes 40 cross-sectoral, and a total of 271 adaptation measures for the 7 sectors/areas prioritised in 2017 and tourism. The measures are deemed critical for strengthening Saint Lucia’s capacity to prepare for, withstand and recover from the impacts of climate variability and climate change and for tapping into opportunities to address climate change.
