In November 2025, Grenada launched the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) 2025 – 2030, and the National Climate Change Policy (NCCP). These documents are the strategic roadmap guiding the transformation of the nation from a position of climate vulnerability. Both documents will ensure that social impacts, equity and inclusion are embedded alongside technical adaptation priorities.
The updated NAP is an investment-ready pipeline with an estimated total budget of approximately $572 Million USD.
Accompanying the documents is the reconstitution of the Climate Change Focal Point Network (CCFPN), a unique approach in which sector ministries and statutory bodies integrate climate aspects into their daily operations.
One notable example in the updated NAP is the inclusion of Programme of Action (PoA) 13 on climate mobility. This programme recognizes that climate induced displacement, relocation, and migration are not only environmental challenges but deeply social ones.

For an island like Grenada which is continually threatened by climate change impacts, mostly recently Hurricane Beryl in July 2024, adaptation and mitigation efforts are critical.
Under the slogan “Everyone in Action for Climate Change Adaptation”, the NAP adopts a Human Security and Child-Responsive Approach moving beyond technical infrastructure, focusing on protecting the dignity and well-being of individuals. It is one of the few national plans to explicitly incorporate child-responsive adaptation, ensuring that health, education, and social protection systems are tailored to the specific vulnerabilities of children.
Supporting the revision of the NAP and NCCP was the Climate-Resilient Water Sector in Grenada (G-CREWS). The project is jointly financed by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN) under its International Climate Initiative (IKI) and the Government of Grenada.
