Belize’s National Action Plan (NAP) for Maritime Decarbonization

We have successfully concluded our Focus Group Sessions, held on July 28–29, 2025, as part of the development process for Belize’s National Action Plan (NAP) for Maritime Decarbonization.

While the NAP is still in draft form, we are pleased to share the Baseline Assessment Report (BAR), which has been instrumental in shaping the Plan. The BAR offers a comprehensive overview of Belize’s maritime transport sector, using 2023 as the reference year. It evaluates current legal and policy frameworks, energy consumption patterns, and key maritime economic activities.

The report also assesses greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Belize’s national maritime transportation sector, highlighting emission sources, policy gaps, and governance challenges. It outlines the structure of the sector, including the international and domestic fleets, two cruise and two cargo seaports, and the transient fleet, all based on 2023 emissions data.

You can access the full report on our Maritime Corner page.
