sNAPshot: Grenada’s Approach to Initiating Integration of Adaptation Planning across Sectors

Grenada has adopted a 'sector-driven' approach to climate adaptation, where individual sectors had already begun integrating adaptation measures before a national coordinating framework was established. The government is now using the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process to stocktake these efforts, identify gaps, and 'climate-proof' its national development planning. Coordination is led by the Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (MALFFE) and the National Climate Change Committee (NCCC), with a focus on improving climate finance readiness to access the Green Climate Fund.

• Grenada's approach to integrating adaptation is characterized as 'sector-driven', meaning that various sectors had already implemented adaptation considerations in their planning and policy before a coordinated national approach was established.
• The government is utilizing the NAP process to create a coherent national framework by reviewing the National Climate Change Policy and Action Plan (2007–2011) and integrating climate considerations into a new 15-year development plan led by the Ministry of Planning.
• Specific sectoral adaptation tools already in place include an Integrated Coastal Zone Policy, a land-use policy incorporating climate aspects, an Agricultural Plan with integrated climate change, and a national adaptation and action plan for the water sector.
• Institutional coordination is managed by the MALFFE and the National Climate Change Committee (NCCC), the latter of which is a 13-member advisory body focused on guidance and 'climate-proofing' development planning.
• Grenada is leveraging the NAP process to improve its 'climate finance readiness' to access the Green Climate Fund, which includes establishing a National Designated Authority within the Ministry of Finance and training 20 experts from government, NGOs, and the private sector.
