The Caribbean and climate change - the costs of inaction

The report provides a detailed analysis of the potential economic effects of continued climate change for the entire Caribbean region.

The report compares two possibilities, an optimistic rapid stabilization case and a pessimistic business-as-usual case. The report focuses on three categories of effects: hurricane damage, loss of tourism revenue, and infrastructure damage due to sea-level rise.
