GIVRAPD: Microinsurance Component Contrasting Coping in the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean

The document outlines a research project comparing community adaptation and microinsurance demand in four Small Island Developing States (SIDS). It specifically focuses on comparing 2011 data from the Caribbean with new survey data from Mauritius and the Seychelles to analyze socio-economic profiles, financial behavior, and coping mechanisms in response to extreme weather.

• The GIVRAPD project is a two-year research initiative focused on community adaptation to climate change across four Small Island Developing States, specifically St. Lucia and Jamaica in the Caribbean, and Mauritius and Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, to examine the conditions shaping vulnerability and adaptive capacity.
