@vogt_schilb Can’t fault your logic Adrien but does that mean we need a new word for countries that could disappear entirely by the end of the century (Tuvalu) or that have lost over 200% of their entire GDP in one storm (Dominica)? I’d say that ‘particularly vulnerable’ still works.

We’re going to need a bigger screwdriver! This is how resilient infrastructure looks: these screws will hold down our 400MW solar installation in a cat 5 hurricane, to keep pumping water to 1300 farms at Essex Valley, Jamaica, as summers get hotter and drier @UKinCaribbean
