Saint Lucia launches Climate Change Research Strategy 2020-2030

Green Climate Fund

Saint Lucia’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP) has been defined as a ten (10)-year process (2018–2028), consisting of priority cross-sectoral and sectoral adaptation measures for eight key sectors/areas and a segment on the “limits to adaptation,” complemented incrementally with Adaptation Strategies & Action Plans for priority sectors/thematic areas. Priority sectors/thematic areas for adaptation action include: Water; Agriculture; Fisheries; Infrastructure and Spatial Planning; Natural Resource Management/Resilient Ecosystems (terrestrial, coastal, and marine); Education; Health and Tourism. Other key sectors/thematic areas will be identified through a cyclical, iterative NAP process.


Saint Lucia’s NAP process is spearheaded by the Sustainable Development and Environment Division (SDED) of the Department of Sustainable Development (DSD), currently housed within the Ministry of Education, Innovation, Gender Relations, and Sustainable Development. The NAP process has benefited from the inputs of multiple stakeholders, comprising public, statutory, academic, and private sector bodies. Indeed, this process has involved both state and non-state actors, such as media personnel, who play an important role in helping
efforts to positively influence thinking, mould outcomes, change behaviour, and instigate action across the populace at all levels.

Finance Tracking Application

The chart here tracks Saint Lucia’s climate finance flows, this include any finance that has been identified as needed to support national climate change activities, as well as the finance already pledged, committed, disbursed, and received. This data is linked to the national Climate Finance Tracking System – an expert database that the Government of Saint Lucia uses to identify, collect data on, and track climate finance needed and received. The total values shown have been classified as ‘climate relevant’, or funding that has contributed towards a climate change mitigation or adaptation outcome.

Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV)

Climate finance in Saint Lucia can be understood as consisting of public, private, national, and international funds for climate change mitigation and adaptation and loss and damage, aligned with the latest available science and additional to funds that would have been provided under other development aid commitments.
