NEW: Open access article on Dominica's Climate Resilience and Recovery Plan

[Stacy-ann Robinson]

Dear colleagues,

I would like to bring this article to your attention, in case there's interest: Planning for Climate Change in Small Island Developing States: Can Dominica’s Climate Resilience and Recovery Plan Be a Model for Transformation in the Caribbean?

Published in the journal Sustainability, the paper explores the quality of the plan, and finds that, in order for it to be used as a model, other Caribbean jurisdictions would need to extend it by developing mechanisms for equitably sharing any benefits derived from the blue economy, centering Indigenous perspectives in environmental policy- and decision-making, and adequately accounting for exogenous, unexpected risks such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Regards,
