In 2018, IFRC Disaster Law and Grenada Red Cross Society published a report entitled International Disaster Response Law (IDRL) in Grenada, which is a desk review of legal preparedness for international disaster response in the country. The report concluded that the primary gap in the legislative environment in Grenada is the absence of a comprehensive disaster management law that would centrally locate the legal facilities required to regulate, guide and govern domestic and foreign disaster relief.
More recently, IFRC Disaster Law, Grenada Red Cross Society and The Nature Conservancy have begun a legal and policy advocacy initiative focusing on disaster risk reduction and climate change, including ecosystem-based adaptation. As part of this project, in December 2020 the government approved the establishment of a technical committee of stakeholders to contribute to an analysis of Grenada’s legal and policy framework for disaster risk reduction and climate change.
