Disasters frequently cause loss of life and destruction of livelihoods in the Caribbean region. As climate change makes natural hazards more severe and frequent, disaster risk reduction is increasingly important. The Sendai Framework identifies priorities and targets to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risks through comprehensive disaster management. The Caribbean Risk and Disaster Management Youth Platform (CARIDIMA) plays an important role in promoting collaboration across sectors to address disaster impacts. CARIDIMA is a youth-led network of over 130 professionals from Caribbean countries and territories working to reduce disaster risks and strengthen climate resilience in the region.
