Barbados

As a small island developing nation, Barbados is focused on adaptation, and simultaneously put forth a goal to achieve a 35-77% emissions reduction by 2030 compared to business as usual, dependent on international support. They proposed several programs such as the locally-led adaptation focused Roofs 2 Reefs Program, which establishes support for low and middle income homes. Support includes becoming more climate resilient, increasing freshwater storage capacity, promoting sustainable land practices, and making critical water, sanitation, and road infrastructures more resilient.
