Adaptation toolkit to make businesses more climate resilient

Published on June 15, 2026

Businesses across Saint Lucia are expected to benefit from improved climate preparedness and greater access to adaptation resources following the validation of a new Toolkit for Private Sector Engagement in Climate Adaptation.

It is aimed at helping enterprises strengthen resilience, manage climate risks, and safeguard long-term operations.

This private sector effort, including the validation workshop, held on May 29, 2026, and preceding multiple focus group sessions, marked the final stage of the Private Sector Engagement in Climate Adaptation in Saint Lucia initiative under the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Green Climate Fund (GCF) Readiness Project.

The initiative is being implemented by the Department of Sustainable Development in partnership with the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and supported by Bristlepine Resilience consultants.

Bringing together representatives from government agencies, financial institutions, business support organizations, and the private sector, the workshop provided an opportunity to validate practical tools aimed at helping micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) strengthen their resilience to climate-related impacts while improving long-term business sustainability.
