This is report on a Climate Change Knowledge, Attitude, and Behavioral Practice Survey prepared by the Caribbean Institute of Media and Communication at the University of the West Indies. This report seeks to explain selected Caribbean Islands' [including Jamaica's] perceptions of climate change/risk, and how those perceptions, in turn, affect the communities' resilience & adaptation strategies.

\n

Using a previous 2005 study, this report seeks to glean knowledge about changing perceptions & behaviors throughout selected Small Island Developing States- comparing the previous study with the recent one [conducted in 2012]. This report could be very helpful for someone looking into Jamaica's knowledge, attitude, & behavior toward changing climate conditions.

This peer reviewed article researches the effects of and responses to climate change on islands from an anthropological standpoint. It explains islands' vulnerabilities by understanding island-based knowledge of climate change, global causes of vulnerability, local perceptions of risk, and islanders' ability to adapt to environmental changes.

\n

Using a \"conceptual framework\" of causes of island vulnerability and constraints/opportunities available to islanders, this article is able to analyze islanders' responses to the changing climate on a human level.

Beach monitoring data, taken over the course of 5-15 years on eight islands in the Caribbean, is assessed and used to explain coastal erosion. The different factors of these effects are discussed, and approaches to adaptation are explored. The essay states that \"structural, planning or ecological measures\" must be taken in order to cope with the stated effects. Two case studies in the Caribbean are used to show community-based climate adaptation strategies currently in use.

This study seeks to estimate the impact of climate change on a sector deemed to be vulnerable, namely the agricultural sector in Jamaica. There are two main objectives: (1) collect relevant data on the agricultural sector in Jamaica to estimate the costs of identified and anticipated impacts with and without impacts associated with climate change; (2) present an analysis of climate change related impacts on agriculture over the next 90 years based on various carbon emission trajectories under a business as usual (BAU) scenario with adaptation measures.

This website gives a brief description about the Adaptation Fund Programme taking place throughout the country of Jamaica. The Programme is endorsed by the Adaptation Fund Board, and is being implemented by the Planning Institute of Jamaica.

\n

This program is an attempt to enhance the resilience of the agricultural sector and coastal areas to protect livelihoods and improve food security for Jamaica. Its efforts are ultimately to respond to the effects of climate change in the country, and will be implemented in 7 of the 14 parishes in Jamaica (including Trelawny). The in-depth proposal for the Fund Board (which was later approved) is also attached to this annotation.

These two documents (the webpage explaining the project & the proposal defining the specific actions to be carried out) could be an extreme help to persons looking for initiatives currently taking place in Jamaica regarding climate resilience. The details of this project affect several socioeconomic spheres across the island, and is projected to make much impact in the nation as a whole.

This document is a strategic plan for Jamaica in order to \"improve resilience to all forms of hazards, improve emergency response capability, develop measures to adapt to climate change, and contribute to the effort to reduce global rate of climate change.\" This plan thoroughly lays out the socioeconomic, macroeconomic, environmental, and gender contexts of the country, while pairing them with the effects of a changing climate. Analyzing the different levels of vulnerability for the island, the document then maps out a strategic plan to increase resilience in every area. The plan even includes a section on funding and raising support for the different programs stated.

This document gives a great picture of current action being taken towards resilience in Jamaica, and would be very useful in understanding what steps must be taken to achieve adequate preparedness in Jamaica.

This National Strategy & Action Plan is attempt to prepare the country of Jamaica for the effects of an ever changing climate. The document is a response to the great need for Jamaican communities to understand the effects and power of climate change. This report not only sets in place a strategic plan for Jamaica with regards to climate change preparation, but also gives clear directions for spreading the knowledge of climate change to the greater community. This report would be a great resource in understanding the actions needed to prepare for climate resilience, as well as how to inform/empower communities on topics such as resilience.

This article seeks to understand the vast number of threats facing the Caribbean today, focusing largely on population growth and climate change. This article also attempts to outline \"existing mechanisms and recommendations for strengthening regional resilience in changing climate.\" This article would be great for learning more about not only climate change in the Caribbean, but also other factors that are indirectly related to climate change, but still threatening the Caribbean economy and government.

This article studies climate change, sea level rise, and community resilience in the Caribbean through the lens of tourism. Because one of the largest economic drivers of the Caribbean islands is tourism, this article explores the vast and destructive effects sea level rise can and will impose on the existing tourist attractions and resorts along island coasts; as well as their implications for local and national economic systems. This article could be good resource for someone looking into climate change's effects on the important Caribbean resource of tourism.

This handbook is a resource for those looking to assess a disaster situation, and its effects on the communities around it. This handbook, set forth by the Planning Institute of Jamaica, seeks to give leaders a guide to collecting disaster information, damage & loss estimates, disaster effects, economic impacts, and recovery/reconstruction recommendations based on the above information. This would be a great resource for someone looking at what types of assessment systems are already in place for the country of Jamaica, and the formal \"preparations\" they have set forth for damaging disasters caused, ultimately, by climate change.
