Fecha de inicio: 2024
Fecha de fin: N/A

Description

Barbados 2035 is a comprehensive investment plan developed by the Bridgetown Initiative Unit that establishes a roadmap for investing US$11.6 billion until 2035 across 12 strategic priorities that build social, economic, and climate resilience. The plan is grounded in the six missions of Mission Barbados and defines quantifiable targets such as achieving 100% renewable energy by 2035, reducing non-communicable diseases and crime by 50%, guaranteeing universal access to clean water and nutritious food, and creating 10,000 quality jobs with average GDP growth of 5% annually. The plan identifies that approximately 60% (US$6.6 billion) of required investment will come from the private sector, while US$5 billion needs public financing, leaving a gap of US$3.6 billion requiring support from development partners and blended finance mechanisms. Implementation focuses on catalytic projects in the first 3-5 years that unlock private investment, strengthen institutional capacity, and transform Barbados from a small island state to a large-ocean sustainable, prosperous, and inclusive state.
