| National Capacity Self-Assessment Project (NCSA) |
Jamaica has ratified the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Convention to Combat Desertification and the Convention on Biological Diversity. This requires a collaborative approach and coordinated actions with regard to environmental issues, in order to meet our international commitments. It is for this reason that the National Capacity Self-Assessment Project (NSCA) is of particular importance, as it focuses directly on capacity issues pertinent to the implementation of these three conventions. |
