Показать описание
Known for its beautiful sandy beaches and paradise islands, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a small island developing state located in Caribbean. Yet for the island’s 100,000-some residents, living on one of the most beautiful places on earth comes at a price.

Increasingly unpredictable weather patterns on the island, along with last year’s category 5 hurricanes have brought the issue of climate change very much to the forefront of the islanders’ minds.

Building infrastructure that can withstand more extreme and irregular weather patterns is vital to the island’s resilience to climate change and helping mitigate the impact it has on livelihoods.

Do you mean "human-caused" climate change? Do you have data showing accelerated sea-level rise or temperatures that correlate with fossil fuel CO2?
