Project BackgroundSaint Lucia is an Eastern Caribbean Island nation with 180, 000 people. The country faces threats to water security: (i) High non-revenue water (NRW); (ii) freshwater resources are decreasing; and (iii) wastewater and sanitation infrastructure is inadequate. These problems affect the coastal environment, on which most of its productive activities rely. In 2020, the Government of Saint Lucia (GoSL) declared a water emergency due to severe drought and water shortages, with some areas in the north of the island experiencing prolonged interruptions.Scarce Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) investment results in insufficient and aging infrastructure, due to poor institutional and financing capacity thereby reducing WSS service delivery quality. Saint Lucia-s geographical location makes it vulnerable to climate change, including sea level rise, saltwater intrusion in aquifers, reduced rainfall, increased evaporation due to higher temperatures, and prolonged droughts. These factors pose challenges for utility service providers in delivering adequate water volumes, managing wastewater systems efficiently, and maintaining assets.Saint Lucia's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) outlines commitments to enhance and provide support to the eight key sectors identified in the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) including water. The NAP prioritizes: (i) the restoration of watersheds, which are vital to improving water availability, reducing flood risks; (ii) investing in climate-resilient water infrastructure including increasing storage capacity and rainwater harvesting systems; and (iii) improving the efficiency of distribution networks, as key actions. These measures aim to address water shortages during droughts and flooding during heavy rainfall. In terms of decarbonization, the NDC set commitments to reduce GHG emissions by 14.7% by 2030 and 22% by 2035, and Saint Lucia-s NAP and the Sectoral Adaptation Strategy and Action Plans include mitigation benefits in...
