The most recent (October 2025)
Antigua and Barbuda has published its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) in June 2025, which includes strategies to strengthen early warning systems, promote climate-smart infrastructure, encourage sustainable land-use practices, diversify the economy, and enhance human and institutional capacities.
This information can be found in the following links: NAP and Adaptation Communication.
The additional content in this sheet comes from the 2023 review based on the LEDSenLAC report and ECLAC information.
Antigua and Barbuda has a policy and measures target to establish efficiency standards for the importation of lower-consumption vehicles with reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, using 2006 as the baseline year, with target years 2020 and 2030. It also aims to improve the legal, regulatory, and institutional framework, and to build a waste-to-energy (WTE) conversión plant by 2030.
Antigua y Barbuda cuenta con una meta de políticas y medidas para establecer estándares de eficiencia, para la importación de vehículos de menor consumo y menores emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) en base al 2006 con respecto de los años objetivo 2020 y 2030. Además de mejorar el entorno jurídico, normativo e institucional, la construcción de una planta de conversión de residuos en energía (WTE) en 2030.
