Jamaica is one of the countries slated to be impacted earliest by the worst excesses of climate change. The capital city, Kingston, is slated for climate departure by 2023, and numerous areas of the countries' coast are set to be underwater by 2100, with many beaches already experiencing drastic reclamation by the sea.
For countries like Jamaica, the climate action watchwords are mitigation and adaptation. We are joined by Claire Bernard, one of the local focal points for the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR), to discuss the moves Jamaica is making in adapting to a changing climate.
The CaribClimate Podcast has been commissioned by the Caribbean Regional PPCR. A 5-year, 10.9 Million USD project funded by the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) and administered by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), through the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona Office of Research and Innovation (MORI). The project's objectives were to:
1. Improve the Caribbean's processes to acquire, store, analyze, access and disseminate climate-relevant data.
2. Pilot and scale-up innovative climate-resilient initiatives in the region.
