Explore historical and projected climate data, climate data by sector, impacts, key vulnerabilities and what adaptation measures are being taken. Explore the overview for a general context of how climate change is affecting St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Overall risks from climate-related impacts are evaluated based on the interaction of climate-related hazards (including hazardous events and trends) with the vulnerability of communities (susceptibility to harm and lack of capacity to adapt), and exposure of human and natural systems. Changes in both the climate system and socioeconomic processes -including adaptation and mitigation actions- are drivers of hazards, exposure, and vulnerability (IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, 2014).
This section provides a summary of key natural hazards and their associated socioeconomic impacts in a given country. It allows for a quick assessment of most vulnerable areas through the spatial comparison of natural hazard data with development data, thereby identifying exposed livelihoods and natural systems.
Climate change is now recognized to have a significant impact on disaster management efforts and pose a significant threat to the efforts to meet the growing needs of the most vulnerable populations. The demands of disaster risk management are such that concise, clear, and reliable information is crucial. The information presented here offers insight into the frequency, impact and occurrence of natural hazards. Source (PDF)

THE Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC), in collaboration with the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (GoSVG), has launched a US$3 million project to fast-track climate action.
The launch took place on November 26, 2024, in the presence of key national stakeholders from sectors such as agriculture, tourism, fisheries, forestry, economic development, environment conservation, met services and others.
Addressing the event was Mr. Earl Green, Project Manager at the CCCCC who emphasised the importance of the project towards strengthening SVG''s capacity to implement actions that improve climate adaptation.
Mr. Green further acknowledged that, despite the myriad of ongoing activities and the constant pressures from recurring climate events, the successof the project hinges critically on active national participation. "It is expected that this will allow SVG to implement its Long-Term Readiness Action Plan to enhance its national capacity to effectively respond and address the impacts of climate change in a strategic, consultative, participatory, and comprehensive manner with national stakeholders to ensure country buy-in and country ownership", he articulated.
Ms. Giselle Myers, Senior Economist in the Ministry of Economic Development, explained that SVG has been receiving financial support from the GCF through the CCCCC since 2017.
The new project increases the total economic value of GCF climate-related contributions to US$8 million. “Support to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) continues towards its path of increasing climate resiliency.
The full commitment of the NDA and key stakeholders play crucial roles in the execution of the activities and also to strengthen policies for effective delivery of the programme and or projects," she stated.
Reflecting on the numerous natural disasters that have battered Saint Vincent and the Grenadines over the past decade, Myers lamented the relentless and pervasive nature of climate impacts, which affect every sector. These events, she said, "depict clearly the urgency for St Vincent and the Grenadines to mobilise climate financing that will support projects to position the country to strengthen adaptation and mitigation efforts and decrease potential devastation".
While thanking Mr Ahnivar Peralta, Project Development Specialist at the CCCCC, she said: "We are pleased to once again collaborate with the CCCCC as a delivery partner."
The CCCCC, along with the Economic Planning Division of the Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning, and Information Technology, will execute the project on behalf of the people and government of St Vincent and the Grenadines.
By the project''s conclusion, the institutional, technical and climate finance needs of the Member State are expected to be strengthened, ensuring a more resilient and sustainable future. (CCCCC)
