The Government of Grenada has officially confirmed its participation in the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), scheduled for November 10–21, 2025, in Belém, Brazil. The delegation, led by Dr. Spencer Thomas, Special Envoy for Multilateral Agreements, will include representatives from key ministries and agencies dedicated to advancing Grenada’s climate resilience agenda.
At COP30, Grenada will prioritize the concerns of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), advocating for enhanced climate finance, adaptation support, and the effective implementation of the Loss and Damage Fund. The delegation will also highlight Grenada’s achievements in renewable energy transition, sargassum valorization, blue economy initiatives, ecosystem restoration, and resilient infrastructure, all aligned with the National Adaptation Plan (2025–2035) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
Hon. Kerryne James, Minister for Climate Resilience, the Environment, and Renewable Energy, will participate virtually in high-level events and bilateral meetings, emphasizing the need for equitable access to climate finance for vulnerable nations. The delegation will engage in thematic discussions on energy transition, youth and gender inclusion in climate action, and the integration of science and innovation into national climate policies.
Minister James remarked, ‘COP30 represents a critical juncture for global climate ambition. Grenada is committed to demonstrating leadership, sharing our progress, and advocating for the tangible actions and financing required to protect our people, ecosystems, and future generations.’
The Ministry of Climate Resilience expressed gratitude to Grenada’s international and regional partners for their ongoing collaboration in advancing national and regional climate priorities.
