Building stronger regional networks through partnerships that advance civil society and inclusive development across the Caribbean.
Across the Caribbean, farmers, fishers, market vendors, tourism workers, and other informal workers are increasingly exposed to hurricanes, floods, droughts, and other climate-related hazards.

This Toolkit was developed to help civil society organizations (CSOs), cooperatives, credit unions, and government partners.
The Caribbean Policy Development Centre (CPDC) has launched two new research publications calling for a shift in how Caribbean communities prepare for and recover from climate disasters.
Learn from real stories and expert insights about climate resilience in the Caribbean.
Deep dives into climate resilience, policy, and community empowerment across the Caribbean.
CPDC’s research provides a roadmap for how technology and meso-level CDRFI can work hand-in-hand to make this possible. The next step is putting those tools in the hands of the people who know their communities best.
Our region is now at the point where we need to turn disaster lessons, from Hurricane Melissa and every storm before it, into long-term protection.
Our region must no longer ask whether women and youth should be at the center of resilience planning. It’s whether we are willing to build the systems that make their leadership possible.
To understand how these bridges can transform disaster response in the region, explore our research on meso-level CDRFI.
Explore our Research Paper to learn more about why savings matter, where they fall short, and how communities can combine old traditions with new tools for smarter climate protection.
Our resources and initiatives benefit a wide range of stakeholders across the Caribbean region.
