Abstract

In recent times, the impacts of climate change can be undeniably seen across the globe. These impacts can be devastating not only ecologically but socially as well (Sowman and Raemakers 2018); particularly to those who reside in coastal communities and depend on the sea and other related natural resources for their livelihoods. The nexus between climate change and poverty is an understudied concept in the Caribbean and therefore this study is significant in addressing this pressing issue (Charles et al 2019). The major objectives of the research are to understand the triggers that affect household vulnerability and equally important, understand and explore the mitigation and adaptation strategies that these households can use to combat the impacts of climate change.
