Description
Summary:Agriculture is a priority sector for adaptation in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, but no mitigation targets were included in its initial Nationally Determined Contributions (iNDC). The main barrier to implementing climate resilient agriculture (CRA) practices is the lack of resources, including know-how, extension services, and communication deficiencies. However, opportunities exist for building CRA and enhancing climate ambition in NDCs. Indirect and direct N2O accounts for most of SVG's agricultural sector emissions, and policies aimed at reducing the food import bill should consider adaptation actions with mitigation co-benefits. Immediate and ongoing N2O reducing actions are also crucial.
