Sustainable Climate Action Plan for Haiti, focusing on renewable energy

Abstract

Haiti is one of the poorest and most vulnerable countries in the world that faces a multitude of challenges; its environmental conditions being one of its major concerns. There are many aspects regarding its climate problems, but the purpose of this report focuses on the adoption of pyrolysis, alternative materials for cookstoves in Haiti, as well as Haiti’s potential in renewable energy. The methods suggested above are mainly to address the areas of waste management, deforestation, carbon emission, and energy generation. In addition to these methods, this research also briefly examines some of Costa Rica’s sustainable climate policies and Haiti’s opportunity to adopt such policies. The ultimate purpose of this report is to also raise awareness for developing countries, such as Haiti, hoping to gain public effort to help improve the environmental quality of these countries.
