Our Nature, Our Future: A Call to Action!

St. Vincent and the Grenadines' stunning biodiversity is facing threats like climate change, pollution, and habitat loss. But we have a plan!

The draft National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) is our nation's bold commitment to a greener, more resilient future. It outlines key actions to protect our iconic species, restore our ecosystems, and build a sustainable future for all. While the plan is still in the approval process, we want you to be a part of the journey.

Let's build a future where both people and nature thrive.

Plastic pollution in the Caribbean requires locally driven solutions that reflect the realities of Small Island Developing States. In response, the Sustainable Small Grants Programme (SSGP), under the initiative is designed to support practical, community-level action.

The programme will focus on five eligible countries:
Antigua and Barbuda
Grenada
Saint Lucia
St. Kitts and Nevis
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Priority will be given to MSMEs, particularly those that are community-based and led by women and youth. However, the programme is also open to a broader range of actors, including community-based organisations, NGOs, cooperatives, associations, schools, and informal groups with demonstrated community
engagement. An informational webinar will be held to provide further details on the programme’s objectives, structure, and approach ahead of the launch of applications.
