T&T Strengthens Climate Resilience In Agriculture And Water Sectors Through Landmark FAO-Green Climate Fund Project

Trinidad and Tobago has strengthened its capacity to address the impacts of climate change on its agriculture and water sectors following the successful completion of a major climate adaptation project implemented through a partnership between the Ministry of Planning, Economic Affairs and Development and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with funding from the Green Climate Fund (GCF).

The project, entitled “Strengthening Adaptation Planning Processes and Capacity for Successful Implementation of Adaptation Actions in the Agricultural and Water Sectors of Trinidad and Tobago,” concluded with a closing workshop on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, which brought together government representatives, development partners, technical experts, participating farmers and other stakeholders to reflect on the project’s achievements and consider opportunities for advancing climate resilience nationally.

Led by the Ministry of Planning, Economic Affairs and Development, with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries serving as a key technical partner, the initiative was designed to strengthen institutional and stakeholder capacity to plan, implement, assess, monitor and report on practical climate adaptation solutions. The project also sought to address gaps in technical knowledge, climate-related information, stakeholder coordination and investment in climate-resilient agricultural practices.
