St. Vincent & the Grenadines, due to its unique geology, has particular vulnerabilities to climate change. For example, many areas of the country are prone to landslides, flooding, or a combination of the two. With the increasing possibility of extreme weather events, SVG has to adapt.
Joining us for this episode of the podcast are Rohan Kiezel, Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning and Information Technology, and Ms. Tyshana Mcnichols environmental officer within the Ministry, of Tourism, Civil Aviation on Sustainable Development and Culture.
