Multiple government planning documents were reviewed and applied to a standardized NAMA quick screen process to identify NAMA concepts that could be further validated and turned into NAMA proposals for Trinidad and Tobago. In total, 26 NAMA concepts were identified, which could be taken forward by Trinidad and Tobago for further consideration.This document is part of IISD's continued effort to promote low-carbon, climate-resilient development globally.
