This report is a sub-component of the Adaptation to Climate Change in the Caribbean (ACCC) project.
Its purpose is to determine the extent to which climatic change might alter food production opportunities in countries which have traditionally been major suppliers of food to six selected Caricom countries and thereby alter food security in the region.
The report concludes with an assessment of the extent to which climatic change might threaten sources of food imports for each of the selected countries.

This book investigates the potential for information and communications technologies (ICTs) to help communities adapt to climate change in the water sector. Using some examples of ICT applications used for water security as part of disaster risk reduction programmes. The overall report includes theoretical considerations for project decision-making, regional explorations of the application of ICTs in contexts of water stress in Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa and Asia, as well as emerging research questions in the field.

This report is divided in four main topics. The first presents a general analysis of links between the hydrological cycle and climate change, followed by the hydrological cycle in the Caribbean and its impact on water resources. It continues with an analysis of the possible impacts on groundwater due to sea-level rise and several aspects related to water management and finishes with different adaptation and mitigation options that should be implemented in each country's policies.
