Abstract

This Saint Lucia’s Sectoral Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan for the Water Sector (Water SASAP) 2018-2028 is a cross-sectoral policy document at the national level. The overarching goal of the Water SASAP is to drive the implementation of effective adaptation actions across all sectors and at all levels of society for safeguarding Saint Lucia’s water resources and services under a changing climate. In the SASAP, the adaptation measures are grouped under 13 strategic objectives and contribute to four major expected outcomes, namely: Outcome 1. Enhanced enabling environment and improved behaviour for water-related climate adaptation action; Outcome 2. Increased water access, availability and quality; Outcome 3. Increased water efficiency and conservation; Outcome 4. Strengthened preparedness to climate variability and extremes.
