Climate Change in Haiti
How has Climate Change Affected the Area?
Agricultural Vulnerability The variances in the climate have disrupted planting seasons and reduces crop yields. Haiti depends on importing fresh food, and without that consistency, food insecurity increases.
Energy & Deforestation Haiti has a heavy reloance on charcoal, therefore causing deforestation.
Poor Infrastructure Haiti has not had the resources thus far to reconstruct or stabilize their buildings so increased hurricanes and other natural disasters continue to destroy th elittle they have.
Environmental Vulnurability Haiti has seen rising temperatures, increased hurricanes, changes in rainfall patterns, and increased flooding.
Climate Change in Haiti
What is being done to remedy the situation?
In Haiti, there are several efforts to try and sow down the damage of climate control. - There's the Trois-Rivieres Watershed Climate Adaptation Project, which works to restore the ecosystem, manage land sustainably and they try and find solutions to reduce climate risks as a community. - Haiti has been tryinf to reduce deforestation, and are promoting more sustainable and renewable energy. - Trying to implement the use of early warning systems to try and reduce the effects of natural disasters.
Where else in the world is experiencing a similar form of climate change?
Maldives
Fiji
Solomon Islands
Guatemala
Ethiopia
Vietnam
How does this affect the region around it? Regions surrounding these areas are dealing with severe deforestation, and climate change is getting worse every year. Hurricanes and other natural disasters are getting worse and more frequent. What effects does it have globally? Temperatures are rising, glaciers are melting, and countries all over the world are getting destroyed.
