Key messages delivered by Kishan Khoday of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) at the UWI Regional Conference on Resilience to Hurricanes in the Caribbean on 2 October 2024, outlining UNDP's regional climate action, specific country initiatives, and future priorities for resilient development.

• The UNDP serves as the largest UN implementer of grant assistance for climate action, managing over $4 billion in initiatives across more than 140 countries and territories. In the Caribbean, where it has operated for 50 years, the organization focuses on mitigating and adapting to climate change, risk governance, community resilience, and resilient recovery systems.
• Recent UNDP resilience efforts in the Caribbean include regional cooperation for disaster risk reduction and specific local projects: building climate resilient shelters in The Bahamas after Hurricane Dorian, improving risk governance and impact assessment in Belize, and supporting livelihood recovery and a crisis coordination online platform in Jamaica following Hurricane Beryl.
• Future priorities for the UNDP include transforming development policies to future-proof investments and align land use with severe climate disasters. Key focus areas include reducing vulnerability in food, energy, and water systems, preventing the re-expansion of poverty and rural-to-urban displacement post-2030 for the most vulnerable, and developing capacities to account for climate-related loss and damage.
