Latest update
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines submitted its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) on 30 September 2025, with mitigation and adaptation targets set for 2030. In addition, the country has a National Adaptation Plan (NAP) in place, which provides the strategic framework to guide medium- and long-term adaptation planning, strengthen resilience, and support the implementation of its climate commitments under the NDC.
This information can be consulted at the following links: NDC and NAP.
The additional content in this country profile comes from the review completed in 2023 based on the LEDSenLAC report and ECLAC information.
San Vicente y las Granadinas cuenta con una meta relativa de reducción del 22% en las emisiones de GEI con respecto a las emisiones proyectadas para 2030. Para el 2025, se busca aumentar al 50% la cuota de energías renovables (geotérmica y solar fotovoltaica). Además, reducir un 15% el consumo de electricidad. Las medidas planificadas incluyen modernizar el alumbrado público, diseñar un nuevo código de edificación y lograr el etiquetado energético de electrodomésticos.
