Résumé

This Intended Nationally Determined Contribution is a nationwide sectoral document developed by the Government of Jamaica under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Kyoto Protocol with the aim of reducing its GHG emissions through ‘no regrets’ mitigation actions, which can lead to reduced emissions as well as cost savings and social and environmental benefits. The objective is to achieve the goal of the Vision Statement of growth and prosperity for its people while meeting the challenges of climate change as a country with enhanced resilience and capacity to adapt to the impacts and to mitigate the causes in a coordinated, effective and sustainable manner. Specific objective of the document are (i) conservation and efficiency in the use of energy; (ii) create a modernized and expanded energy infrastructure, ensuring that energy supplies are safely, reliably, and affordably transported to homes, communities and the productive sectors on a sustainable basis; (iii) increased share of renewable energy sources to 20% by 2030; (iv) an energy supply secure, environmentally sustainable, and able to withstand economic and social development; (v) a well-defined and established governance, institutional, legal and regulatory framework for the energy sector; and (vi) an ecological private industry to advance international competitiveness and to move towards a green economy. The purpose is a reduction of 7.8% of emissions versus BAU.
