The panel will provide insights into the multi-dimensional nature of vulnerability and conversely resilience in the Caribbean as the Region charts a path towards economic and social transformation. The panelists will also focus on highlighting some of the best practice policies that are in process or have been implemented to foster improved resilience, reduced poverty and strengthened economic activity. The purpose of the event is to highlight the current and planned initiatives in regional economies to reduce their vulnerability and strengthen resilience to exogenous shocks and natural hazards and climate change; to identify opportunities or initiatives for improved Regional co-operation to foster strengthened resilience and to discuss financing opportunities including the access and allocation of concessional resources.
