The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is providing $1.5 million to support the island countries of Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines in their efforts to adapt to the effects of climate change. The program will raise public awareness of climate change and will improve the policy, legislative, and institutional environment for reducing vulnerability to its impacts. The project will emphasize coastal and water resources management to increase the resilience of the tourism and agriculture sectors, which have been identified as the key economic sectors that will be significantly impacted by climate change in the region.
