The development work being supported by the Energy and Environment programme aims to address Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 7 of ensuring environmental sustainability. The targets established under this goal are:

• Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes; reverse loss of environmental resources
• Reduce biodiversity loss, achieving, by 2010, a significant reduction in the rate of loss
• Reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation
• Achieve significant improvement in lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers, by 2020

At the same time our work addresses the needs and priorities of the countries we serve in the sub-region, as specified in their Country Programme Action Plans (CPAPs).

The programme portfolio supports several initiatives throughout the islands. These are:

• Sustainable Land Management (SLM)
• Second National Communication (SNC)
• Sustainable Island Resource Management Mechanism (SIRMM)
• Biodiversity
• Bioenergy in the Caribbean
• Other projects
