Our projects

Supporting the implementation of NDCs in the Caribbean: transforming transport and energy sectors towards a low-carbon and climate-resilient future (NDC-TEC) is a programme funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety’s (BMU) climate initiative, to support countries in the Caribbean to enhance the ambition of their climate targets, implement transformative actions within the energy and transport sectors, and to facilitate strategic access to climate financing. So far, tailored support has been offered to Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, and Saint Lucia.

This project is working to develop the science around what the climate impacts of temporarily overshooting 1.5°C would mean for our climate.

When climate impacts hit, there are those who don’t, or can’t, leave. The Immobility in a changing climate (ITHACA) project looks at the choices and constraints that lead to people’s immobility in the face of climate change, and what ramifications that has for their lives.

The project aims to develop a long-term, low-emissions development strategy for Jamaica out to 2050, integrating the country’s socioeconomic aspirations with low-carbon, climate resilient pathways. The strategy will outline milestones, frameworks for action to address existing gaps, and will be accompanied by a plan for future implementation.

This project aims to establish a scientifically robust and transparent link between the latest climate and economic data and the Climate Bonds Initiative’s projects.
