Driving, connecting and communicating: The many roles of national government in climate adaptation planning

The document argues that while community-level action is necessary, national governance frameworks are essential to provide the strategic oversight, finance, and enabling environment required for transformative climate adaptation in the Caribbean. It emphasizes the need for cross-departmental policy integration and the use of specific toolkits to strengthen institutional adaptive capacity and link national priorities with local needs.

• Climate change poses a severe economic threat to the Caribbean, with projected annual costs reaching US$22 billion by 2050, which equals 10% of the regional GDP based on 2004 data. These costs create budgetary pressures that divert funding from health and education.
