About Us

The National Climate Change Office was established in 2014 as the Government of Belize’s response to the climate crisis. As the secretariat for climate change, the National Climate Change Office acts as the operational arm of the Belize National Climate Change Committee, by mobilizing climate change related actions across the country.


Mandate

The mandate of the National Climate Change Office is to:

 
 
Communicate 

This is to relay information to the public and private sectors, local communities and schools on all aspects of Climate Change.

Coordinate 

This is to guide the initiative of having both the public and private sectors work in conjunction with each other to build Belize’s resiliency to Climate Change.

Mainstream

This is to ensure that Climate Change ideologies enter and remain in Belizean colloquialism, action and decision making.
