Environmental Sustainability – Protecting Haiti's

Natural Resources

Our Environmental Vision

By 2054, Haiti will have reversed environmental degradation, achieved significant reforestation, and developed sustainable management of natural resources. Our communities will be resilient to climate change and natural disasters.

Key Objectives

1. Reforestation and Land Restoration

Reversing deforestation and restoring Haiti's natural landscapes.

Strategic Actions:

  • Plant 750 million trees by 2054
  • Restore degraded watersheds and ecosystems
  • Implement soil conservation measures in agricultural areas
  • Create protected forest reserves
  • Achieve 30-40% forest cover by 2054

Reforestation Programs:

  • National Tree Planting Initiative
  • Watershed Restoration Project
  • Agroforestry Development
  • Community Forestry Management
  • Mangrove Rehabilitation Program

2. Climate Change Adaptation

Building resilience to climate change impacts across Haiti.

Strategic Actions:
