The Caribbean islands

The Caribbean islands face heightened vulnerability due to climate change, with powerful storms, rising sea levels, and environmental disruptions jeopardizing communities.

Loss of income and livelihood pushes an increasing part of the population to migrate as a coping mechanism, particularly towards North America and Europe for better opportunities. Those who migrate are exposed to enhanced risks of human trafficking. Urgent adaptation measures are crucial to address the interconnected threats to the islands' environmental sustainability, economic stability, and social protection.
