The Ministry of Sustainability and Climate Resiliency of the Cayman Islands Government
The Ministry of Sustainability and Climate Resiliency (MSCR) was established on 26 April 2021 by the Cabinet of the Cayman Islands Government (CIG). Utilising a multi-stakeholder and forward-focused approach, MSCR will aim to deliver on the CIG’s commitment to achieve environmental, social, and economic balance, with a view to maximise benefits across all three areas of this triple bottom line.
The ministry is responsible for the strategic development of programmes and policies that shall be guided by decision-making processes, to ensure the Cayman Islands is best placed to solve current challenges and meet the needs of the present, without compromising future generations.
Concentrated actions to transform environmental systems and build capacity to anticipate climate risks and hazards, absorb shocks and stresses, reshape and transform development pathways in the longer term are of paramount concern. These key actions include and are not limited to, the review and update of the Cayman Islands’ Climate Change Policy. The aim of the policy review shall be to utilise a risk assessment framework as a means of agreeing and prioritising mitigation and adaptation actions to protect the environment in respect to: innovation, biodiversity, food security, green technology, renewable energy and the further expansion of protected areas.
