Climate Change and a New Reality
Meteorologists warn that the Caribbean’s hurricanes are becoming stronger and wetter due to rising sea temperatures. What were once “once-in-a-generation” storms are now regular intrusions. The cost to rebuild—roads, schools, lives—mounts each season.
Governments are now emphasizing resilient living: flood-resistant housing, solar microgrids, and mangrove restoration to buffer storm surges. It’s not just about survival—it’s about redesigning how Caribbean nations live with nature, not against it.
The Call to Conscience
When the winds rise, the Caribbean remembers what truly matters: community, compassion, and preparation.
As one Jamaican farmer put it, “The storm comes for everyone—rich or poor. But how we stand after it, that’s what shows who we are.”
In the Caribbean, hurricane season is not just a meteorological event—it’s a mirror of endurance and unity.
