Jamaica’s SNC Started September 2006 – to be completed 2009.
The SNC will• outline the role that combating climate
change plays in ensuring Jamaica’s environmental sustainability and achieving the MDGs.
Recommend policies and technologies to reduce greenhouse emissions
• Promote forestry and agriculture practices that will protect and enhance carbon sinks

SNC elements
• Sectors/zones – Coastal Zone, Human Settlement,
Human Health, Water Resources, Agriculture, Tourism
– Four contracts awarded (Coastal Zone & Human Settlements; Water Resources & Agriculture: Scenarios & Human Health; Socio-economic assessments)

SNC elements
For each of the sectors/zones studied the key findings will be presented on the:
• Effects (direct and indirect) of climate variability and change (impacts)
• Vulnerable areas/communities• Adaptation strategies• Integration of socio-economic and
environmental scenarios• Interrelations between the effects on the
different sectors/zones

Results and Achievements
Completed - • National Circumstances for 2000 (the
base year for the reporting of the SNC)
• The national inventory of the anthropogenic emissions by source and removal by sinks of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol

Results and Achievements (2)
• Programmes containing measures to facilitate adaptation to climate change consisting of the development of climate scenarios for the years 2015, 2030 and 2050, and
• Integrated assessment for water resources and agriculture, coastal resources and human settlements and human health

Usefulness of SNC• V&A assessments will be used to
identify potential projects for funding• Institutionalization of national response
to climate change• Produce policy-relevant knowledge and
information to effect policy dialogue• Facilitate public education and
awareness for mainstreaming CC concerns at different levels of the society

SNC – National Level Impact • The SNC is included in the Medium Term Socio-
Economic Policy Framework to support the implementation of the National Development Plan Vision 2030
• Vision 2030 provides the framework to ensure that climate change issues are mainstreamed into national policies and development activities
• Included in MDG report to ECOSOC

Meeting a Challenge -Supplementing the SNC
• Proposal made for an additional component on Advocacy and Communications, funded by the UNDP.
• This would showcase the SNC to professional audiences, the academic and research community and the wider public including school children, particularly through a national exposition and scientific conferences.
