SUMMARY:Building Climate Change Resilience in the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Caribbean basin countries are experiencing some of the most destabilizing impacts of climate change—entire villages destroyed\, increases in diseases and other health harms. These countries contributed little to global climate change and yet they must build resilience to survive\, much less flourish.  What are the tradeoffs of adapting to warmer environments versus abandoning low-lying locales? What are the responsibilities of policymakers in the region and abroad? \n\n\n\nThese are among the questions that will be discussed in a webinar on Thursday\, February 13\, at noon EST. \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\nGeorgiana Gordon-Strachan\, PhD\, is director of the Tropical Metabolism Research Unit at Caribbean Institute for Health Research at the University of the West Indies in Kingston\, Jamaica. She is the regional director (Small Island Development States) of the Lancet Countdown. \n\n\n\nCheryl Macpherson\, PhD\, is a professor at St George’s University School of Medicine and a senior research fellow at the Windward Islands Research and Education Foundation in Grenada. She leads the Climate Bioethics Program supported by the NIH Fogarty International Center. \n\n\n\nJoy St. John\, MBBS\, MPH\, is a public health specialist who has worked for more than 30 years in Barbados and at the regional and global levels. She was the executive director of the Caribbean Public Health Agency from 2019 to 2024. She is a member of the PAHO Strategic Advisory Group on Sustainable Development Goals and Health Equity. \n\n\n\nModerator: Carolyn P. Neuhaus\, PhD\, is a research scholar at The Hastings Center and an investigator in the Climate Bioethics Program. \n\n\n\nVideos: Zain Hernandez\, a training facilitator in Belize\, and Rosa Erendira Peña Trujillo\, a veterinarian in Mexico.  \n\n\n\nThe webinar is being produced in partnership with the Caribbean Research Ethics and Education initiative (CREEi) and supported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health Fogarty International Center award #3R25TW009731-11S1. \n\n\n\nThe webinar is in English. Spanish transcript will be available.
