dc.descriptionThis report was commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Sub-Regional Office for Barbados and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and by the UK Department for International Development (DFID), with support from Australia’s International Climate Change Adaptation Initiative. The report was produced by The CARIBSAVE Partnership and authored by members of 15 key institutions around the world dealing with climate change (see page 10). This report provides an overview for all CARICOM member states of the risks from climate change and includes a section on the common threats of climate change for Pacific island countries. The report focuses on: climate change projections for the Caribbean region under +1.5° and +2°C global warming scenarios; the implications of ice sheet melt for global sea level rise (SLR); the projections and implications of SLR for the Caribbean region; evaluation of the differential impacts of +1.5° and +2°C on coral reefs, water resources and agriculture in the Caribbean, with additional analysis for the Pacific islands.
