Project Summary
GGGI, along with partner organizations OECS (Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States) and Climate Analytics, has been selected by the NDC Partnership to provide support to the Government of Antigua and Barbuda under its Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP, pronounced “cap”), which is aimed at fast-tracking support to countries to enhance the quality, increase the ambition, and implement nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
Under the Paris Agreement, countries revise their NDCs every five years to cut greenhouse gas emissions to limit Earth’s temperature rise and implement solutions to adapt to the effects of climate change. The updating of NDCs and their implementation presents countries with significant opportunities to align their climate and development agendas to promote sustainable growth, but also presents challenges in reinventing policies and operations and mobilizing enough investment. The CAEP provides technical and financial support to countries to enhance the quality and increase the ambition of their contributions to the Paris Agreement.
