The mapping of Caribbean projects for adapting to climate change in agriculture and food is a tool for learning about existing projects in Guadeloupe, Martinique, Dominica and Saint Lucia on the themes of adapting to climate change in agriculture and food.

The aim is to promote synergies between projects already underway, encourage cooperation between the regions and increase knowledge more quickly, anticipate climate change and reduce its impact.

Key mapping figures and main elements :

• 85 projects listed
• 55% of the projects listed are located in Dominica and Saint Lucia
• 82% of projects focus on resilient agriculture or agro-ecology
• The majority of projects are still in progress, demonstrating the growing interest in the subject of adaptation to climate change.
• Saint Lucia, as the most populous territory in the OECS and home to the OECS headquarters, has the most projects working on a regional scale.
