Before you build, make sure you have the green light!

Planning a construction project or development? Some projects require an environmental permit from the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) before work begins.

Checking your requirements early can help you avoid unnecessary delays and ensure your project meets Jamaica’s environmental requirements.

✅ Find out whether your proposed development requires an environmental permit.
✅ Check the applicable requirements before starting construction.
✅ Contact NEPA for guidance on the application process.

Visit NEPA’s official website at www.nepa.gov.jm to learn more about environmental permits.

DROUGHT ALERT: DID YOU KNOW?

Drought affects more than our water supply! It can place stress on forests, wetlands and wildlife, disrupting the delicate balance of our ecosystems.

As we navigate dry conditions, every drop counts! Conserve water, use it wisely and do your part to protect Jamaica’s natural environment.

Small actions. Big impact. Let’s conserve today for a greener tomorrow!
