The Grenada National Ecosystem Assessment Report was officially presented to the public at a launch ceremony at the Radisson Hotel in Grenada on October 26, 2023.
Launched in 2019, the Grenada National Ecosystem Assessment (NEA) set out to provide a detailed analysis and critical evaluation of the impacts of these global and endemic forces on the island’s ecosystems. Implemented by the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI) on behalf of the Government of Grenada, this project also provided tools, data and knowledge to integrate the value of biodiversity and ecosystem services into policy to build the island’s resilience to profound changes in global, regional and local environments.
Development of the Grenada NEA was funded through the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection of the Federal Republic of Germany, International Climate Initiative (IKI) with global project oversight by the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC).
