The Caribbean
Resilience, Politics & Climate Challenges
The Caribbean is a region of vibrant cultures, complex histories, and evolving political and economic landscapes. Comprising island nations and coastal territories, it has long been shaped by colonial legacies, economic dependencies, and global tourism. While the region is known for its natural beauty and cultural richness, it also faces serious challenges, including climate change, economic vulnerability, and governance struggles.
From small island economies adapting to global trade shifts to political movements advocating for independence and economic reform, the Caribbean is navigating a period of transformation. Debt crises, sustainability challenges, disaster resilience, and shifting alliances continue to shape the future of the region.
