INTRODUCTION
The Caribbean Sea unites a region of great linguistic, cultural, political and economic diversity. As a shared resource, it is the source of countless livelihoods. It is also increasingly a wellspring for sea-level rise, storm surge, and other climate hazards. The people and governments of the Greater Caribbean have a common responsibility to protect their shared ecosystems, and each other.

People across the region face mounting threats to their homes, health, culture and livelihoods. By anticipating risks and planning for climate hazards and mobility, governments can enable a positive transition for frontline communities.
When climate impacts are experienced as random and unpredictable, they are paralyzing. However, with the right information and time to plan, communities can have agency and choice.
Climate impacts aren’t evenly felt. The severity of the challenge in any given community depends on the size of the hazard they face, but also on their capacity to adapt — the economic, technological, financial, and institutional resources on hand.

Climate adaptation must be place-based and grounded in local knowledge, priorities and capacities. It must be enabled by cross-border collaboration and international support.

The countries most vulnerable to adverse climate impacts have barely contributed to global carbon emissions. International solidarity and action are therefore imperative to support adaptation efforts.
These should be led by communities in the countries and cities affected, and encompass a wide spectrum of engagements: from the co-creation of climate risk data and inclusive adaptation planning to improved access to financial support.
