Training the Caribbean’s Next Generation in Climate Change Resilience

The Caribbean is on the front lines of climate change. To lessen its impact on the region, adaptation strategies will require innovative solutions, integrated planning and multifunctional responses, especially in urban areas. To this end, the Caribbean needs to further cultivate its skills and education programs in urban climate resilience. AFD is financing the preparation of an online course in adaptation strategies, which taps into the expertise of several development and environmental organizations.
