The Caribbean subregion has identified priority areas for SCP, such as the diversification of energy sources, food security and support to SMEs. Other areas identified as important issues during the
regional consultation in 2008 include: financing, enforcement of the regulatory framework, public and private cooperation at bilateral and subregional levels and institutional strengthening.
Since the adoption of the conclusions and recommendations on SCP numerous actions have been carried out, including a workshop in Guyana in 2010 to strengthen the enabling environment for the development and implementation of national SCP action plans or mainstreaming SCP into national development strategies.
The technical arm of the Caribbean community, the Caribbean Institute of Environmental Health, carried out another training session. It has provided technical advice and training to stakeholders in the tourism sector. As the major driver of the economy in the region, the tourism sector has benefited from a number of initiatives to green the sector through various environmental management programmes.
