United Nations Development Programme Jamaica

UNDP was a sponsor and exhibitor at the recently concluded Green Expo - a three day environmental exposition organized by the Jamaica Conservation and Development Trust (JCDT). It is held during National Environmental Awareness Week, beginning on World Environment Day - June 5.

The exposition featured displays from the private sector, government agencies, non-government and community-based organisations, and exposed the public to environmental legislation and environmentally-friendly products, services and practices. The slogan of Green Expo since its inception in 1996 has been, "A Better Environment = A Better Life, do the right thing!" and each year has had a different theme this year's focus was on climate change and energy.

UNDP's booth featured information from Jamaica's Second National Communication to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which is being prepared by the Meteorological Service; the work of partners of the Small Grants Programme implementing projects for climate change adaptation; and other aspects of the UNDP environment programme.
