Abstract
The Bahamas stated adaptation priorities for the agricultural sector in its initial Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), including food security and reducing import dependency. However, as of August 2022, the country has not submitted its updated NDC. Barriers to including climate resilient agriculture (CRA) in NDCs in The Bahamas include limited access to baseline data, high costs associated with CRA technologies, and inadequate capacity for research and extension services. However, opportunities for building CRA and enhancing climate ambition in The Bahamas' NDCs exist, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural systems and reducing the carbon footprint of the food system.
