Risk and governance profiles

Antigua and Barbuda enjoys a strong tourism sector but it struggles with poverty, economic inequality, and unemployment. The country’s efforts to strengthen disaster management is hampered by its non-integration to national development planning.

This study assesses the national and regional data systems on migration, environment, disasters and climate change in Antigua and Barbuda.

This country profile for Antigua and Barbuda summarizes available evidence on climate hazards, health vulnerabilities, health impacts and progress in health sector efforts towards a climate-resilient health system.

The preparation of this National Progress Report has been undertaken within the framework of the biennial 2011-13 HFA Monitoring and Progress Review process, facilitated by UNISDR and the ISDR partnership.
