Medium Term Development Strategy 2016-2020

Antigua and Barbuda's Medium Term Development Strategy 2016 to 2020 outlines the country's development strategy as a whole. It has a section devoted specifically to climate change adaptation and disaster risk management. This strategy calls on the government to prepare a national, comprehensive disaster mitigation plan, review government coordination arrangements and practices, prepare a national climate change policy, prepare a disaster risk financing strategy, develop a crop and livestock insurance scheme to protect farmers and ranchers, mainstream climate change considerations into all national policy, strengthen ecosystem conservation, raise awareness and educate people about climate change, and strengthen government capacity.
