The Caribbean faces significant disaster risks from 2022 to 2026.

Persistent climate change impacts, including more intense hurricanes and rising sea levels, exacerbate the region's vulnerability. Policy developments have been slow in adapting to these challenges, leaving many communities at risk of severe damage and displacement.

Communities are increasingly vulnerable to natural disasters due to inadequate infrastructure and insufficient disaster preparedness measures.

Long-term ecological degradation continues as climate change accelerates, posing a significant threat to the region's sustainability.

Can local infrastructure withstand future compounding shocks?

The Caribbean must urgently invest in resilient infrastructure to cope with increasing disaster risks. Current policies and progress fall short of what is needed to protect communities from severe weather events. Without significant improvements, the region faces a heightened risk of catastrophic damage.

Investment gaps remain critical.
