“The Minister [for Natural Resources and Labour Hon. Omar W. Hodge] further explained that the major impacts of climate change to be felt in our region include sea level rise, decreased overall rainfall, increased frequency of heavy rain events and a shift to stronger hurricanes.

‘These changes will have ramifications for our tourism sector, critical infrastructure, human settlements, human health, water resources, food security, energy security, beach and shoreline stability, coastal and marine ecosystems, forestry and biodiversity, and financial services,’ Hon. Hodge said.”
