The Green Economic Growth Model for Jamaica assesses the social, employment and economic impacts of transforming the Jamaican economy to a green, climate resilient economy, compared with a business-as-usual growth scenario. Results from the model scenarios show that an accelerated transition towards a green and climate resilient economy is highly positive for job creation, social development and economic growth. Supported by UNDP and ILO, this milestone study comes at a critical juncture in Jamaica's journey to meet its climate ambitions as a vulnerable Small Island Developing State (SIDS). Jamaica’s economy is critically dependent on fossil fuel energy imports and highly vulnerable to climatic shocks in agriculture and tourism. Notably, imported oil and gas are needed to meet the national demand in transport and electricity generation which is a drain on resources. A Green economic model would be a gamechanger, with potential to bolster Jamaica's resilience to climate shocks and advance national plans for developed country status.
