UNCCD Project
Strengthening national-level capacities of country Parties for UNCCD monitoring and 2022 reporting Objectives To enhance national-level technical and institutional capacity for reporting andLDN monitoring in the context of the UNCCD Strategic Framework 2018 – 2030 and SDG 15.30 Dashboard
Technology Needs Assessment Project
TNA Project Objectives a) To identify and prioritise mitigation and adaptation technologies for selected sectors; b) To identify, analyse and address barriers hindering the deployment and diffusion of the prioritised technologies, including the enabling framework for these technologies; c) To conduct, based on the inputs obtained from the previous two steps, a Technology Action Plan, which is a medium/long term plan for increasing the implementation of identified technologies. The Technology Action Plan outlines actions to be undertaken. Dashboard
Sustainable Pathways – Protected Areas & Renewable Energy
SPPARE Project 1. Formalize an agreement for the SIRF Environment Fund to receive profits from renewable energy systems (see component 2.) and increase revenue for Protected Areas System by $2 million annually; 2. Pilot installation of 1-4 MW wind and/or solar energy (which would generate an eventual estimated minimum of $700,000/year for PA management) with feasibility scale up of up to 50% of the AB’s energy needs at 25MW. 3. Improve management effectiveness of a financially sustainable pilot protected area – Mount Obama National Park, and; 4. Restore surrounding watershed forests key to improved water management and eventual pumped hydro energy storage (to scale up component 2.). Reduce threat of fire to forested areas. Dashboard
Antigua & Barbuda Sustainable Low-Emission Island Mobility Project
SLIM Project What is SLIM? The SLIM Project is a transformative national initiative led by Antigua and Barbuda’s Department of Environment. It aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen climate resilience, and modernize transportation through the adoption of electric mobility and renewable energy. SLIM stands for Sustainable Low-Emissions Island Mobility. The project supports a national transition to electric vehicles (EVs), solar charging infrastructure, and climate-smart transport systems, ensuring sustainability, equity, and long-term resilience. Project Components   1. Institutionalizing E-Mobility Creating the policies, frameworks, and capacity needed to embed e-mobility into national development. This includes regulations, incentives, training, and standards for electric transport. 2. Demonstration Projects On-the-ground pilot initiatives showcasing electric vehicles and renewable-powered charging stations across Antigua and Barbuda. These serve as proof-of-concept for broader adoption. 9 electric buses are currently in operation with the Antigua and Barbuda Bus Association (ABBA) and 2 electric minivans are used by the EMS. 3. Scale-Up & Replication Designing strategies to expand successful pilot models nationwide—across sectors like public transport, freight, and private fleets. 4. Long-Term Sustainability Establishing systems to manage vehicle lifecycles, battery disposal, grid integration, and inclusive workforce development to ensure the transition is just and lasting. Impact Goals – Reduce transport-related carbon emissions – Lower fuel imports and energy costs – Improve air quality and public health – Enhance climate resilience and infrastructure – Create green jobs and empower youth and women Who’s Involved? The SLIM Project is implemented by the Department of Environment with support from national stakeholders, international development partners, and the private sector. Dashboard
Building Climate Resilience Through Innovative Financing Mechanisms For Climate Change Adaptation Project
SCCF Project PoW 2018-2019 Expected Accomplishment (a): Countriesincreasingly advance their national adaptation plans which integrate ecosystem-based adaptation Indicator (ii): Increase in the number of countries that have technical capacity to integrate ecosystem-based management into national adaptation plans Dashboard
IAS Project
Preventing COSTS of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) in Barbados and the OECS Countries An Invasive Alien Species, or IAS, is any plant, animal or other organism that is not native to an ecosystem which may cause environmental or economic harm or negatively affect human health.
