Description: Prolonged drought causes bushfires on the east and west coast of Saint Lucia, causing a strain on the island’s fire department resources. Many of these bushfires occur close to residential communities.

The Caribbean region is one of the most vulnerable regions to the effects of climate change. This is despite the fact that Caribbean nations are not the main drivers of the emissions contributing to climate change.  

Impacts of climate change include increasing extreme weather events. Saint Lucia has faced drought conditions and hurricane season at the same time multiple times in recent years.
