SAINT VINCENT & THE GRENADINES KEY OBSERVED & ANTICIPATED CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS PRIORITY SECTORS FOR ADAPTATION

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is implementing a National Adaptation Plan (NAP) to mainstream climate adaptation into development planning and financing. The process, led by the Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning, Sustainable Development and Information Technology, identifies key climate hazards such as tropical storms, rising sea levels, and rainfall variability. Priority sectors for adaptation include agriculture, water, energy, tourism, and infrastructure. Between 2010 and 2014, extreme weather events caused losses exceeding 35 percent of the country's GDP.

• Extreme weather events caused significant economic damage between 2010 and 2014, resulting in losses that exceeded 35 percent of the national GDP.
• The country's capacity to respond to climate hazards has been strained by an increase in the frequency, ferocity, and impacts of these events.
• The NAP process has reached several milestones between 2013 and 2018, including the 2013 National Economic and Social Development Plan, the 2015 Intended Nationally Determined Contribution, and the April 2018 launch of the NAP and sectoral adaptation strategies for water and agriculture.
