Our Core Strategies
JOIN OUR CALL TO ACTION TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN
|
Small Island Developing States are experiencing more and more environmental devastation, beach erosion, sea level rise, and stronger storm surges creating significant hardships in our coastal and rural communities.
Our fishing communities ranked one of the most vulnerable in the region. |

Our Agriculture sector and farmers are more attuned to variations in weather and climate. Each year our farmers across the region are experiencing drier and lower crop yields due to increased air temperature posing significant threat to our regional food security. This adds to the loss of famer motivation, financial investments and income sources.

Even our biodiversity across the region is under threat. With stronger storms, and coastal flooding, mangroves are being destroyed red and forests are being thinned by stronger storms, and animal habitats are threatened.

In the warmer, more acidic seas, coral reefs are becoming extinct causing significant negative consequences to fisheries and tourism.
