Subject: Caribbean Climate Sub Hub Assessment of Climate Change Vulnerability for Agriculture and Forestry

Dear IITF Colleagues,

The USDA Caribbean Climate Sub Hub has released an initial assessment of vulnerabilities and adaptation strategies for tropical forestry and agriculture in the U.S. Caribbean. This is part of a series of assessments produced by the regional climate hubs in their first year of operation (available here: http://climatehubs.oce.usda.gov/content/regional-vulnerability-assessments).

The Caribbean assessment as an important first step in understanding the potential impact of climate change on various sectors in agriculture and forestry in the region - and how important vulnerabilities to climate change are relative to other ecological, social and economic forces that govern the productivity of agriculture and forestry.

The report and our new awareness of issues will serve as a guide for future efforts of the Hub. Thanks to the coauthors for all their great efforts!

Sincerely,
BG
