Sharing knowledge on Risk Management and Adaptation to Climate Change: Guidelines for contributions and translations

The CRMI is designed to build capacity across the region for the management of climate-related risk. It provides a platform for coordinating and sharing knowledge and experiences on risk management throughout the Caribbean, across language groups and cultures. CRMI supports the translation and publication of case studies, best practices and lessons learned, as well as other documents related to Disaster Risk Management and Adaptation to Climate Change in three languages (English, French, and Spanish). We assist institutions with the dissemination of information and knowledge through publications and this website.

If you have material that may be suitable for translation or further dissemination in the region, we welcome it for review. If the document meets our requirements, we will support the dissemination, and any translation that might be required. With your agreement, the material will be hosted on our website for greater regional access. Your organization retains exclusive rights to your publication.
