Belize Blue Economy Program

The project supports sustainable coastal and blue economy development by combining policy and institutional reforms with targeted urban investments. Components include (i) development and adoption of spatial planning, tourism and environmental policies and a carbon market framework; (ii) upgrading the Belize City wastewater treatment plant to reduce land-based pollution; (iii) expansion of the potable water network in South San Pedro; and (iv) a solid waste management pilot in San Pedro, alongside project management and a contingent emergency response.
