Guyana is among the countries in the Caribbean that faces the greatest risk of a retreating shoreline and stands to lose 53 metres of its shoreline by 2050 if the current climate trend continues and the sea level increases, according to the recently released World Bank Climate Report.
The World Bank, on Wednesday, officially launched the 360° Resilience – A Guide to Prepare the Caribbean for a New Generation of Shocks – report which presents a framework for a holistic approach for Caribbean nations to adapt and build resilience as they battle climate change, new diseases and other socioeconomic issues.
