Trinidad and Tobago took a step towards a lower-emission, nature-positive economy with the launch of the ‘Accelerating the Transition to a Net-Zero, Nature-Positive Economy’ project on 22 October.
The four-year project, backed by 4.85 million dollars from the Global Environment Facility, aims to embed climate action, biodiversity conservation and sustainable development into the country’s planning and economic decision-making.
The initiative will help build the policies, institutional capacity and financing mechanisms needed for the transition, while opening opportunities for green investment.
