The approval of the ADAPT Jamaica project by the Green Climate Fund is expected to have a positive impact on Jamaica's agricultural sector by enhancing climate resilience and food security. This investment will likely reduce future economic losses from climate-related disasters, improving the long-term stability of the agricultural value chain.
The Green Climate Fund approved the ADAPT Jamaica project, a historic single-country investment for Jamaica, at its 44th Board meeting in Songdo, South Korea. This initiative aims to enhance the climate resilience of over 700,000 vulnerable smallholder farmers across six central parishes in Jamaica, particularly in the aftermath of Hurricanes Beryl (July 2024) and Melissa (October 2025), which caused significant agricultural and structural damage. The project, implemented with the Food and Agriculture Organization, will promote climate-resilient farming practices, improve water management and post-harvest systems, and strengthen access to climate information, finance, and markets. It includes hands-on training, solar-powered irrigation, cold storage, improved crop varieties, and agroforestry approaches. The Jamaica===Development Bank of Jamaica and the Jamaica===Jamaica Social Investment Fund are key Direct Access Entities.
