10 Effects of Climate Change

• Precipitation/dry periods (timing, duration, intensity)
• Sea Surface Temperature increase
• Sea level rise
• Storm surge incidence
• Storm intensity, numbers and duration
• Wind speed
• Economic trade vulnerability (due to our heavy dependence on imports).
• Financial shocks vulnerability (due to our open economies).
• Natural disaster vulnerability (due to the fragile state of our infrastructure

including buildings, roads, bridges, land use patterns etc.).

• Grenada is particularly vulnerable to the adverse

effects of climate changes.

• Policies and strategies relating to climate change

adaptation exist, however a strategic and comprehensive approach to adaptation, including coordination across sectors and the implementation

• f concrete measures is needed.

Strategy

The programme follows an integrated approach to climate change adaptation rather than fragmented measures. This means:

• Multi-level-Approach (from the national to the local level)
• Multi-sectoral approach
• Working with a multitude of different actors (relevant ministries/

authorities, and communities, the private sector and academia)

• Implementing and testing concrete measures
• Cooperation with other regional initiatives, stakeholders and projects
• International outreach: Make results of the project accessible and

applicable to other countries in the region

inter-sectoral coordination of climate change adaptation measures

• Support inter-sectoral mechanisms for climate change adaptation,

including the private sector and the civil society

• Integrate climate risk analysis into national, sectoral and community

planning and decision-making, through capacity development and support for policy implementation.
