Background

The overall aim of EUROCLIMA is to help increase the ambition of NDCs, support NDC implementation in relevant sectors and support the development of long-term inclusive and gender-responsive strategies for decarbonization. 

This Programme will build on the achievements and lessons learnt in terms of strategy, implementation, governance, and stakeholder engagement, and ensure a “policy-first” approach. It seeks to strengthen climate dialogue with partner countries in the Caribbean, including Barbados, to increase opportunities for financing for development.

The UNDP Multi-Country Office (MCO) for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean is partnered with AFD, GIZ and UNEP to implement a portion of the programme. UNDP is responsible to lead or co-lead country dialogues’ facilitation with selected countries participating in EUROCLIMA Caribbean, which will lead to the selection of actions and investments for possible implementation. 

Major activities include: 

• Providing advice to EU Delegations and the Directorate-General for International Partnerships (INTPA) throughout the country dialogue process 
• Carrying out analytical studies 
• Facilitating multi-stakeholder consultation processes 
• Analysing country needs according to programme criteria
• Supporting the elaboration of a Country Action Plan.
