Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.1. The Project will provide direct employment, to estimated 196 persons (FTE, thus not including temporary workers). Indirect employment (e.g. supply chains of goods and equipment) has not been taken into account in this figure. 2. In the primary energy supply of Barbados, currently, 88% of energy needs are imported, thus negatively affecting the country’s trade balance. In the alternative energy scenario, in line with the country’s ‘100% RE’ policy goal (presented in Annex G of the UNDP Project Document, the share of imports would be down to about one-third of the primary energy supply. Biomass can play a significant role in this up from providing 2211 terajoules (TJ) in the ‘RE scenario’ as compared to 391 TJ currently (of the 211 TJ, 1808 TJ is locally produced and 403 TJ imported biofuel/feedstock). Note that the Project’s indirect emission reduction estimate is based on the potential share of bioenergy. 3. Indirectly, as bio-methane will be injected into the nation’s pipeline system, biomass-generated electricity sold to the grid, or made available as transport fuel (CNG, biodiesel, ethanol), the client base of these energy systems will indirectly benefit from the introduction of bioenergy (BNOC clients: 21,200; BLPC: 130,000, and vehicle-owners: 19,200)[1]. 4. Socioeconomic development and climate change are intricately linked, with social and economic activities climate forcing and climate change determining climate impacts which in turn affect socioeconomic developments. For example, the realization of bioenergy will have both environmental and socio-economic impacts. Seeing both the direct environmental (cleaner development) and socioeconomic benefits (new skilled jobs and better services; avoided fuel imports) will attract private and public developers and eventually transform the market into self-sustained growth.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.The project aims to address direct drivers that are threatening endemic biodiversity in Barbados that are of global significance by strengthening the policy environment for sensitive ecosystem protection and conservation, and expanding protective landscapes that are IAS-free to assist with species recovery efforts. The project will be a flagship initiative aimed at preventing further species extinctions in Barbados and will contribute to the global knowledge commons in innovative conservation approaches for critically endangered endemic reptiles in small island environments. The project will continue to upscale ongoing work in the Caribbean and other SIDS that will result in global environmental benefits in reducing rates of biodiversity loss in vulnerable ecosystems. The project will contribute to expanding benefits among the local communities. This will be through the opportunities created through nature-based tourism associated with visitation to the conservation centre. It is expected that local enterprises will be fostered and/or diversified through product offerings to visitors in terms of souvenir, culinary and cultural experiences that will generate revenue. The project, guided by the business plan will explore benefits with focus on ensuring gender equity and youth engagement in access to these opportunities. A concrete benefit the project intends to deliver on is contribution to mainstreaming of ecosystem management considerations within physical development planning through enhanced guidelines and statutory frameworks (under the national Physical Development Plan) that better informs land use planning to ensure that landscape conservation efforts under the ‘flagship’ theme of endangered reptile conservation are sustainable in the long-term. This is of increasing priority in Barbados where as a SIDS, needs to carefully balance growing development needs against maintaining the natural environment to preserve the flow of ecosystem benefits that include water security, food security and biodiversity conservation. This is of particular importance under changing climate where careful landscape management is needed to lessen vulnerabilities particularly as an already water-scarce island. The project will assist Barbados fulfil its commitment to attaining global biodiversity benefits under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework adopted by countries in December 2022. The project will contribute to meeting Goal A that focuses on halting human induced extinction of threatened species and that by 2050, extinction rate and risk of all species are reduced tenfold and abundance of native wild species is increased to healthy and resilient levels. Specifically, the project will deliver benefits aligned to Target 4 that seeks (in short) to institute urgent management actions to halt human induced extinction of known threatened species and for the recovery to significantly reduce extinction risk and maintain and restore the genetic diversity through in situ and ex situ conservation and sustainable management practices. The project brings direct benefits in the context of Target 6 that aims to eliminate, minimize, reduce and or mitigate the impacts of invasive alien species on biodiversity and ecosystem services by identifying and managing pathways of the introduction of alien species, preventing the introduction and establishment of priority invasive alien species, reducing the rates of introduction and establishment of other known or potential invasive alien species by at least 50 per cent, by 2030, eradicating or controlling invasive alien species especially in priority sites, such as islands.Global Environment Facility UNEP Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI) CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Barbados 287747.00 287747.00 287747.00 86324 UNEP Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI) 863241 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11013 Global Environment Facility The main objective of this project is to strengthen the country’s transparency framework through the design and implementation of a fully functional and harmonized domestic Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system for the effective implementation of the country’s NDC and other transparency-related activities Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.With the development of this MRV Transparency system, the capacities of the MENB will improve and foster adequate monitoring, reporting and verification of all data collection related to the climate change agenda. Better MRV and M&E systems allow to follow adequately, ensure ownership and create a culture of data collection, it also avoids duplicating measures with the same impact and identify synergies with other actions or projects. This implies economic savings for the implementers and evaluators of the actions. In addition, institutional coordination procedures will be improved by the registration of measures. The use of an electronic platform will enhance visibility, governance and ensure solid basis for the development of new reports and documents, such as NDC´s, BURs, etc.Finally it will allow Barbados to pursue its ETF commitments under the Paris Agreement which is built upon the current, solid measurement, reporting and verification system under the Convention, the International Consultation and Analysis. The final biennial update reports for developing countries should be submitted no later than 31 December 2024 and will undergo the last ICA cycle between 2024-2026.[1] Indirect benefits on the mitigation agenda may result in GHG emissions reductions or avoided given the: increase in renewable energy; enhanced energy efficient measures; Increased adoption of innovative technologies and management practices for GHG emission reduction (energy, transport, waste, agriculture, etc.)and carbon sequestration; and Conservation and enhancement of carbon stocks in agriculture, forests and other land uses. In the adaptation agenda, gains could concern: Implementation of the adaptation actions, formulation, implementation, publication and update of national and regional programmes; design and follow up of strategies and measures, policy frameworks (e.g. national adaptation plans) and other relevant documents; implementation of adaptation actions identified in current and past adaptation communications, including efforts towards meeting adaptation needs, as appropriate; implementation of adaptation actions identified in the adaptation component of NDCs, as applicable;and coordination activities and changes in regulation, policies and planning. [1] Parties under the Paris Agreement are required to submit their first biennial transparency report (BTR1) and national inventory report, if submitted as a stand-alone report, in accordance with the MPGs, at the latest by 31 December 2024. The enhanced transparency framework represents an important component of the ambition cycle in the global climate regime established by the Paris Agreement by building trust and confidence that countries are taking action to meet their national climate targets and actions defined in their NDCs under the Paris Agreement.
