These risk profiles will contribute to a greater understanding of the country’s vulnerability - a critical step to reduce disaster risk.
This document summarises the key strategic actions that need to be taken to deliver the Climate Resilience Strategy and Action Plan (CRSAP) and increase Guyana’s resilience to a variable and changing climate.
