SAINT LUCIA CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS PRIORITY SECTORS FOR ADAPTATION

Saint Lucia's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) is a 10-year participatory process led by the Department of Sustainable Development to build resilience across eight priority sectors. The process integrates various tools, including a Climate Financing Strategy and Private Sector Engagement Strategy, and has reached milestones such as the publication of the first NAP Progress Report in 2022 and Green Climate Fund project approval in 2023.

• Saint Lucia's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) is a 10-year process designed to help the population adapt to climate change, focusing on eight priority sectors: Tourism, Water, Agriculture, Fisheries, Education, Health, Infrastructure & spatial planning, and Natural resource management (terrestrial, coastal & marine).
• The NAP process utilizes a framework of Sectoral Adaptation Strategies & Action Plans (SASAPs) and various supplementary tools to ensure horizontal and vertical integration. These tools include a Climate Financing Strategy, a Private Sector Engagement Strategy, a Climate Research Policy & Strategy, and a Monitoring & Evaluation Plan.
• The country identifies several primary climate risks impacting these sectors, including tropical storms, high-intensity hurricanes, higher temperatures, coral bleaching, marine algal blooms, flooding, landslides, storm surge, sea level rise, and prolonged droughts.
• Key milestones in the NAP timeline include the ratification of the Paris Agreement in 2016, the launching of the NAP and SASAPs for Water, Agriculture, and Fisheries in 2018, and the publication of the first NAP Progress Report in 2022, which informed an Adaptation Communication to the UNFCCC.
• In 2023, the Green Climate Fund approved a project to enhance Saint Lucia's NAP process by strengthening the evidence base, improving private sector engagement, and elaborating sector strategies and action plans.
