In this episode, Jevanic Henry and I talk about climate action in the Caribbean region and specifically in Jevanic's hometown in St Lucia. We discuss the long-lasting impact of the disastrous Hurricane Thomas on communities in St Lucia as well as the impacts of drought, food and water insecurity, and health inequity. Together we explore how people in St Lucia are rebuilding communities in a resilient way.
