    Approach

    Coastal beach erosion hazard maps for twenty selected bays in Grenada, with one bay, namely Grand Anse Bay mapped at high-resolution. These maps reveal the long-term trends around the coast of Grenada.

    An initial mission to the country was undertaken in order to collect necessary field data for the erosion analysis; meet the key stakeholders and to become familiar with the study area. At the initial meeting, key stakeholders agreed that the 100-year return period event and the 20-year shelf life would be the main modeling parameters for the erosion analysis.

    The Management Action Plan is the culmination of work that began in 2011 when the Non State Actors Panel took the step of moving beyond critique and comments to develop an Alternative Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy to address what it considered the deficits and gaps of the strategy that was proposed by the Government of Grenada.

    Many of the recommendations also speak to local adaptive capacity for communities in Grenada.

    Objective

    Grenada has all the attributes necessary for the existence of commercial quality geothermal systems. Reservoirs may be within fractures in the central part of the island where the volcanic is thick enough reach depths of several thousand feet. Plausibly, the underlying carbonate formations may be involved in the northern part the island, particularly beneath Cantle Hill and Chambord.

    Objective

    This article examines awareness among health-care providers in the Caribbean region to the health impacts of climate change. In focus groups in Trinidad and Grenada, health providers described rises in mosquito-borne, flood-related, heat-related, respiratory and mental illnesses, and attributed these to local impacts of climate change. Their discussions showed that the significance of these impacts differs in different Caribbean nations, raising policy and social justice questions.

    Working paper on the climate change impacts on forests in the Caribbean and how the forestry sector can respond. This document is part of the publication series of FAO’s Forest and Climate Change Programme.

    The programme works to strengthen countries’ capacities to mitigate and adapt to climate change through actions consistent with sustainable forest management and to promote regional cooperation and international policy development related to forests and climate change.

    Economic modelling approaches were implemented to estimate sectoral demand and supply between 2011 and 2050. Residential, tourism and domestic demand were analysed for three different scenarios, A2, B2 and BAU. The results of this project expect to stimulate governments, institutions, private sector and civil society to craft effective climate change adaptation and mitigation measures to ameliorate the projected impacts within the respective sectors and the economy.

    Economic modelling approaches were implemented to estimate sectoral demand and supply between 2011 and 2050. Residential, tourism and domestic demand were analysed for three different scenarios--A2, B2 and BAU. The results of this project expect to stimulate governments, institutions, private sector and civil society to craft effective climate change adaptation and mitigation measures to ameliorate the projected impacts within the respective sectors and the economy.
