National Adaptation Plan for the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago

The “National Adaptation Plan for the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago” outlines the nation’s strategic approach to addressing climate change impacts. Recognizing its vulnerability as a Small Island Developing State, the plan emphasizes adaptation in key sectors: coastal resources, agriculture, water, health, biodiversity, infrastructure, financial services, and Tobago-specific concerns. It integrates with existing policies, including the National Climate Change Policy and Vision 2030, aiming to build long-term resilience through a comprehensive, multi-year program developed with diverse stakeholder input. The plan also serves as Trinidad and Tobago’s first Adaptation Communication to the UNFCCC, reaffirming its commitment to global climate action.
