Background
This publication is the product of an international study led by the Division for Sustainable Development (DSD) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) in cooperation with the Ministry of Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs and the Ministry of Environment, Foreign Trade and Export Development of Grenada. The completion of this first Road Map on Building A Green Economy for Sustainable Development in Carriacou and Petite Martinique, Grenada is the result of an intensive effort by experts from Grenada, consultants and personnel from the United Nations who actively have participated in meetings, workshops, field trips, data collection and analysis since 2010. The study is part of a larger project being conducted by the DSD on Integrating Climate Change into National Sustainable Development Strategies and Plans in Latin America and the Caribbean. The idea of conducting this Road Map for Carriacou and Petite Martinique originated from the preliminary research carried out during the first stages of the implementation of this project in Grenada.
