Regional analysis of the nationally determined contributions in the Caribbean
gaps and opportunities in the agriculture sectors
By highlighting the gaps in the coverage of mitigation and adaptation in the agriculture and land use sectors, as well as illustrating opportunities for enhancing climate action ambitions in the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in the Caribbean, this analysis can serve as an important roadmap for informing policies and directing investments in support of low-emission and climate-resilient agriculture and food systems in the region.

By highlighting the gaps in the coverage of mitigation and adaptation in the agriculture and land use sectors, as well as illustrating opportunities for enhancing climate action ambitions in the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in the Caribbean, this analysis can serve as an important roadmap for informing policies and directing investments in support of low-emission and climate-resilient agriculture and food systems in the region.While the Caribbean contributes to less than 0.5 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and is disproportionately impacted by climate change and variability, all but two countries (Antigua and Barbuda and Cuba) in the region set a general GHG target. However, without implementation of the NDCs, net emissions are expected to increase by around 30 percent in 2030 compared to 2015 levels. Under the mitigation scenario, total net emissions in the region are expected to decrease by roughly 17 percent compared to the 2030 counterfactual scenario. Around 80 percent of that reduction is conditional to international financial support.The report concludes that addressing the financial, human, institutional and organisational barriers to the uptake and dissemination of technologies will be key to upscaling climate action in the agriculture and land use sectors. Investments in the sustainable management and use of forests, as well as ocean and coastal zones and water resources will be needed. It is also important to prioritise investment in technologies, including data collection and management, climate information and early warning systems, mapping, monitoring, irrigation and drainage, in order to upscale climate action in the agriculture and land use sectors
