OECS Press Release
February 7, 2025
The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission, in collaboration with key regional and international partners, is set to host the 3rd Caribbean NDC Investment Forum & Marketplace from March 31 to April 2, 2025, in Grenada. This premier event will bring together policymakers, private sector leaders, development agencies, and investors to accelerate financing for climate action and resilience-building in the Caribbean.
Themed “Investing in Climate Action for a Resilient Future,” the investment forum will build on the successes of previous Forums held in Saint Lucia in 2018 and 2022, respectively. As the region works towards implementing second-generation Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, this Forum will serve as a vital platform to foster partnerships, share best practices, and mobilise financing for sustainable development.
Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, all six independent OECS Member States have ratified the treaty, committing to ambitious emissions reduction and climate adaptation targets. However, achieving these targets requires significant financial and technical support, beyond the means of OECS Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The Caribbean NDC Finance Initiative (NDCFI), launched in 2017, was established to assist in bridging this gap by catalysing investments in low-carbon and resilient infrastructure.
The NDC Investment Forum aims to:
A core component of the NDC Investment Forum is the Marketplace, which will be a hub for climate investment opportunities, providing a dynamic space for connecting buyers, sellers, and financiers of climate solutions. It will feature:
Who Will Participate?
The Marketplace will be open to a diverse range of stakeholders, including:
The Caribbean NDC Investment Forum and Marketplace was founded by the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), the Government of Saint Lucia, the NDC Partnership, and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The 3rd NDC Investment Forum is sponsored by the Government of Grenada, the European Union Global Gateway, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), the OPEC Fund for International Development, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), and the NDC Partnership.
How to Participate
Interested individuals and entities are encouraged to register for both the Forum and Marketplace. Additional details on registration, exhibition opportunities, and application procedures will be announced soon.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
