Supporting the implementation of NDCs in the Caribbean
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.

The aim of the programme is to support Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member states in enhancing the ambition of their 2030 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and to implement transformative actions in energy and transport.
The programme offers tailored support to Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica and Saint Lucia in accelerating implementation and raising the ambition of their NDCs in the energy and transport sectors, as well as support to access to climate finance. Knowledge products and regional outreach are also key to ensuring that all CARICOM member states will benefit from best practices and lessons learned.
Climate Analytics leads the work to improve the capacities and cooperation structures of public actors for NDC implementation and revision, ultimately supporting the 2025 NDC revision process in all six countries, and enabling key actors to translate the 2020 NDCs into implementation plans and financing strategies.
The work undertaken to update NDCs and develop implementation plans will feed into other work packages, supporting the development of legal and regulatory frameworks and incentive mechanisms for implementation, along with transport strategies and energy system plans, and the development of finance ready proposals.
