St. Kitts and Nevis is most vulnerable to cyclones and hurricanes (and the resulting storm surge), floods, and droughts. The country lies on the southern edge of the Atlantic hurricane belt where tropical cyclones occur throughout August, September and October. Climate change has the potential to result in changes in hurricane frequency and intensity which will have countrywide social and economic implications.
This section allows you to explore the susceptibility of livelihoods and natural systems to impacts of climate variability and change and facilitate the exploration of socioeconomic and development data and its relationships with natural hazards vulnerable areas.
