The National Strategic Plan of Barbados 2006–2025: Global Excellence, Barbadian Traditions provides the blueprint for the realisation of Barbados’ vision of becoming a fully developed society that is prosperous, socially just and globally competitive by the end of the first quarter of 20th century.
The Plan set the six strategic goals in pursuit of the national vision for 2025. Amongst the goals, the Goal four speaks specifically of “Building a Green Economy: Strengthening the Physical Infrastructure and Preserving the Environment”. Achieving this goal requires the protection, preservation and enhancement of our physical infrastructure, environment and scarce resources as we seek to advance our social and economic development. It demands Barbados find the right balance between the development and the preservation of the physical surroundings. It calls for access to adequate water and energy supplies, a good transportation system and the development and maintenance of sound infrastructure.
