The Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Natural Resources and partners have recently launched The Gambia’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Implementation Plan.
Funded by the NDC Partnership, the plan was developed with extensive stakeholder input and aligns with the National Development Plan, SDGs, and sectoral policies. This comprehensive plan strengthens climate governance to implement national and international strategies, offering social, ecological, economic, and developmental benefits. It aims to eradicate poverty and build resilient livelihoods.
Covering both mitigation and adaptation actions in key sectors like agriculture, energy, water, and waste, the plan serves as our primary guide for NDC implementation from 2021 to 2030
In his statement, the Vice President of The Gambia, HE Mohammed BS Jallow reiterated The Gambia’s continuous commitment to combating the impacts of climate change
‘’Today marks a significant milestone in The Gambia’s journey towards a sustainable and resilient future, as we gather to launch our Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Implementation Plan (2021-2030). This momentous occasion is not merely a ceremonial event; rather, it symbolises our nation’s unwavering commitment to fighting climate change and securing a sustainable and prosperous future for all,’’ VP Mohammed BS Jallow.
