A new report spearheaded by the CARIBSAVE project under UNDP funding
highlights the impacts of climate change on Caribbean nations and
natural resources. In particular, the report highlights the difference
in the impacts at the 2.0°C increase being pushed by many UN
negotiators vs. the 1.5°C increase promoted by the Alliance of Small
Island States. The report focuses on: the implications of ice sheet
melt for global sea level rise (SLR); the projections and implications
of SLR for the Caribbean region; evaluation of the differential
impacts of +1.5° and +2°C on coral reefs, water resources and
agriculture in the Caribbean, with additional analysis for the Pacific
islands. Of particular interest are the sections on climate change and
ocean acidification impacts on Caribbean coral reefs — analysis led
by NOAA’s Coral Reef Watch and its partners.
