    Saint Lucia’s Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action for Schools: The Green Schools NAMA
    (2018) Government of Saint Lucia; Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) for Saint Lucia; Ministry of Infrastructure, Ports, Energy and Labour; Ministry of Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development
    Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) are voluntary, non-binding policy instruments that provide a framework for pursuing a country’s socioeconomic and development goals, while contributing towards global greenhouse gas mitigation efforts. NAMAs were first introduced at the 13th Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC (COP13) in Bali in 2007. The NAMA covers primary and secondary schools across the entire island of Saint Lucia. The NAMA covers all GHG emission related activities in school buildings (such as lighting, air conditioning or cooking) as well as renewable energy generation on school sites. The following targets were defined under the Green Schools NAMA (all targets are based on the activities covered in the NAMA boundary):  Reduction of energy consumption of 20% by 2025 (this is based on the 20% target for the public sector defined in the Barbados Declaration on Achieving Sustainable Energy for All in Small Island Developing States (SIDS),  Reduction of GHG emissions of 35% by 2025 (overshooting the target of 16% by 2025 defined in the NDC).
