Addressing colonisation and climate change

Dominica has lived through increasingly intense hurricanes and was devastated by Hurricane Maria (2017), which laid bare vulnerabilities that date back to colonial decisions.

Assessing the Caribbean's national planning systems

The long-term economic impacts of Hurricane Gilbert (1988) in Jamaica reveal a lack of attention to disaster risks in planning decisions, and even deficiencies in the way economics is being taught.

Disasters: opportunities for change?
