Capacity Building to facilitate Climate Resilience in Disaster Risk Management and Private Sector Access to Climate Finance in St. Kitts and Nevis

The proposal seeks US$999,853 over 30 months to enhance the operational frameworks of the St. Kitts and Nevis Meteorological Services (SKNMS), National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Nevis Disaster Management Department (NDMD), and the St. Kitts and Nevis Geographic Information System (SKNGIS). Key objectives include updating national disaster plans, developing a Digital Storm Surge Model and Climate Change Risk Atlas, and creating a roadmap to increase private sector investment in climate action. The project also aims to support the development of at least two GCF concept notes featuring private sector involvement.

• The St. Kitts and Nevis Meteorological Services (SKNMS) faces significant institutional gaps, including a lack of a multi-hazard early warning system (EWS) and legislative enactments that do not focus on National Meteorological and Hydrological Services.
• National disaster management frameworks in St. Kitts and Nevis require updating, specifically the National Disaster Plan (2013) and the Nevis Disaster Management Plan (2017), to reflect current climate-related threats.
• The St. Kitts and Nevis Geographic Information System (SKNGIS) lacks sufficient technical support, software, and high-resolution hazard maps, particularly for emerging hazards like drought and flooding.
• The private sector in St. Kitts and Nevis, dominated by small firms and MSMEs, has limited awareness of climate finance and the Green Climate Fund, and faces barriers such as lack of financial resources and adaptive capacity.
• The proposed project will develop a Digital Storm Surge Model and Climate Change Risk Atlas to improve decision-making regarding hurricanes and other climate risks.
• The project aims to facilitate private sector access to climate finance by developing a roadmap for crowding-in investment and submitting at least two concept notes to the GCF.
