The Climate Change Risk Modelling project is a one-year project funded by the Department of Environment (DOE), Government of Antigua and Barbuda under its National Adaptation Planning progress with a grant from the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The objectives of the project are

  • To assess available data on exposure, hazard, and vulnerability
  • To model the impacts of climate change
  • To assess current and future risk from tropical cyclones (wind and storm surge), drought (increased temperatures and low precipitation), marine heat waves, and sea level rise.

The project reviewed and assessed available hazard data, developed climate risk maps that integrate downscaled climate projections with risk models for hazards that affect Antigua and Barbuda. Changes in climate patterns and meteorological parameters was evaluated the UK Met Office (in partnership with the DOE, and Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, CEFAS) from its work on the downscaling of climate change projections.

The project was implemented by a consortium of five organizations with expertise spanning from to climate hazard and risk modelling, remote sensing, from disaster risk reduction to policy advice. The organizations involved include ImageCat (lead agency), Kinetic Analysis Corporation, Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego, Willis Towers Watson, and the UK Met Office.
