The magnitude of the environmental and economic risks associated with climate change will continue to significantly impact the economic, financial and social landscapes of the
OECS/ECCU region; undermining development objectives as well as impeding the ability to achieve sustainable development.
The economies in the Caribbean region are predominantly powered by highly climate-sensitive economic sectors including tourism, agriculture The Caribbean region is therefore among the most vulnerable regions to the attendant economic, health and social disruptions. The OECS/ECCU region must therefore innovate and strategically mobilise resources towards climate resilience to protect lives, livelihoods and economies.
The panel discussions will engage decision makers, technocrats and thought leaders in insightful discussions on climate resilience themes.
The GRD 2022 Climate Resilience Data Challenge involves but is not limited to the development of AI application prototypes from participating data scientists that can contribute to deeper insights on key climate data issues that can lead to improved policy formulation, decision making
and advance initiatives on climate resilience in the OECS/ECCU region.
GRD 2022 Climate Resilience Data Challenge, herein referred to as ‘The Challenge’, starts with the identification of pressing climate change problems.
