St. Kitts and Nevis Updated Nationally Determined Contribution Communicated to the UNFCCC October 2021

Summary

St. Kitts and Nevis faces significant climate change impacts on critical sectors like agriculture, tourism, and health, compounded by high reliance on fossil fuels for electricity (95% from diesel) and transportation. To address this, the nation has updated its Nationally Determined Contribution, pledging to reduce economy-wide CO2 emissions by 61% by 2030 compared to 2010. The core approach involves a complete transition to 100% renewable energy for power generation and increasing electric vehicles, alongside comprehensive adaptation strategies, with implementation planned pending international financial and capacity building support.
