Climate Change Handbook for Caribbean Journalists

Perspectives are changing, albeit slowly, but there is room for optimism.

Climate Witness Community Toolkit
This Climate Witness Tool kit is the result of a process undertaken on Kabara, Fiji, (the first Climate Witness site in the Pacific) to document local impacts of climate change and to devise appropriate adaptation measures that local communities can implement themselves.
Enabling Adaptation to Climate Change
The Mesoamerican Reef (MAR) system stretches over nearly 1,000 kilometers of coastline, spanning the Caribbean coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras. It is the largest in the Western Hemisphere and has been granted international recognition due to its unique and important variety of productive ecosystems.
Climate Witness brochure
WWF Climate Witness works with individuals and communities around the world to document their stories of climate change impacts and share them widely as a powerful way to illustrate to decision makers the real impact that climate change is having on people’s lives here and now.
Climate Witness Fact Sheets

Climate Witness Adaptation Programme in Fiji
Pacific island nations are among the most vulnerable to climate change. WWF South Pacific Programme has helped communities in the Pacific to take actions to build their resilience against the impacts of climate change through the Climate Witness programme. There is great need to assist Pacific communities to adapt to climate change and WWF SPPO is looking for partners to fund the implementation of Climate Witness project throughout the region.
