Fisherfolk in the Caribbean region are already greatly impacted by the devastating effects of climate change such as rougher seas, more extreme weather conditions, and the extinction of fish species due to higher sea temperatures.

LIDAR, an airborne remote-sensing technology that uses light in pulsed laser form to measure variable distances from the earth, is being used to gather data that will better predict the impacts of climate-related events and determine how best to prepare for them.

Climate change has severe implications for food and water security. If left unchecked, water supplies will eventually dry out and farm-produced crops will have difficulty growing in heat or get washed away from the increased number of storms annually.

Have you considered rainwater harvesting (RWH)? This method of water conservation is most beneficial for those communities that have limited water sources or a water supply that is frequently interrupted in their fight against the effects of climate change.

Sweet potato is a superfood that farmers in Caribbean territories should plant more of as the region experiences more severe and frequent dry seasons.

Caribbean islands are on track to reaching climate departure soon. We recently learned that the number of children displaced by storms and flooding in the region has seen a six-fold increase in the past years.

One adaptation strategy to climate change is to develop systems that can provide early warnings. This is especially important in climate and health to help fight issues such as Dengue which may arise after long periods of drought.

Question : Is there currently an app used to track natural disasters in our area?

[Caribbean Regional PPCR @PPCR_Caribbean]

With the likelihood of more frequent extreme weather events, climate products and services are essential in informing planning. 

Tune in to our Conference happening now or watch footage after the event on the PPCR Caribbean YouTube to find out what is being planned.

Here are some key recommendations by Luis Marquez from the Value on Woman on how to maintain gender balance in climate resilience projects.

[Caribbean Regional PPCR @PPCR_Caribbean]

Development Consultant Alicia Hayman pointed out that climate change in agriculture affects both men and women. She concluded that the way forward is to ensure that our climate change solutions are gender sensitive.

In the Caribbean, there are communities that experience water insecurity for at least a small percentage of the year. Today , Adrian Cashman pointed some of the ways we can move forward together.

Stay tuned to our pages as we continue our discussion on Climate change.
