Jamaica's long-term strategy: costs, benefits, and operationalization
Assessing the costs and benefits of Jamaica’s long-term strategy and supporting its operationalization.
Jamaica’s Long-Term Emission Reduction and Climate-Resilient Strategy (LTS) is a roadmap for aligning climate ambition with sustainable development and resilience.
As Project Manager working with Climate Lead Group and under the leadership of the Climate Change Branch of the Ministry of Water, Environment and Climate Change and with the support of the 2050 Pathways Platform, I led the development of its cost-benefit analysis.
The analysis was informed through stakeholder workshops, bilateral meetings, and the use of open access models. It showed that implementing the LTS could generate an estimated USD 13.9 billion in net benefits by 2050, highlighting how long-term climate mitigation and adaptation planning can advance people-centered prosperity.
I coordinated the update of the LTS operationalization plan, helping translate long-term ambition into concrete policy and implementation pathways.
This is just one part of the work Jamaica has been doing to advance low-carbon, climate-resilient development that puts people’s well-being at the forefront of this transformation.
I’d love to hear from you.
