This portal has been developed in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme
Our partnership with The UWI supports our aim of promoting technical and investment cooperation among nations and advocates for change, and connecting countries to the knowledge, experience and resources that help people to build better lives.
The teaching programmes offered by and through The UWI are collectively designed to complement its research agenda on climate change and sustainable development across three dimensions - economic, environmental and social - and to equip Caribbean leaders and technical managers.
The UWI is the premier research facility in the Caribbean, and a global contributor to landmark, global research. A solid track record in research, which has been pivotal in providing regional and global insights, has also resulted in The UWI’s academics being invited to participate in landmark reports and publications.
Self-organisation, collaboration, advocacy and activism are critical for the Caribbean to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 13 on climate action. With the Caribbean facing the hardest hits from climate change, The UWI has been a leading advocate for climate action.
The UWI has fully embraced sustainability as a priority, not only in research and teaching but also in its institutional practices.
We are called upon to intensify our climate action andto mainstream sustainability thinking and planetary economics into all that we do, as we imagine the future we want into existence.
