The enhancement of resilience to disasters and climate change in the Caribbean through the modernization of the energy sector

The Caribbean region is prone to disasters due to its geographic location. The exposures and resulting impacts of these disasters are aggravated by persistent social, economic and environmental vulnerabilities. Compounded with the region’s current dependence on imported fossil fuels and financial co...
