On May 17th, from 10:30 am - 12 pm ET,  the NOAA Adaptation Sciences Program will host a webinar featuring a project focused on developing a Research for Action on Climate Change and Health in the Caribbean.. This work is supported in part by NOAA’s International Research and Applications Project (IRAP), which is now part of the NOAA Adaptation Sciences Program.

The principal investigators will present on the development of the “research for action” agenda, which was one of the major objectives of the virtual Conference on Climate Change and Health in Small Island Developing States: Focus on the Caribbean.

The PIs assert that although the Caribbean is one of the regions of the world most vulnerable to the adverse health effects of climate change, research on climate change and health in the Caribbean is sparse and disjointed, and not well communicated to those who need to act.
