Although St. Kitts and Nevis produce minimal greenhouse gas emissions, like any other Small Island Developing State, St. Kitts and Nevis is most vulnerable to the projected impacts of climate change.

Extreme weather events such as flooding and droughts, changes in temperature, and precipitation patterns continue to significantly affect its economy.

Climate change is a major threat to the island’s overall development, particularly because its key economic sectors are highly dependent on its natural resources. Critical sectors such as water, health, tourism, agriculture, and coastal infrastructure will continue to be affected if these impacts are not minimized.
