Enhancing climate resilience involves managing existing climate risks and planning for long term climate change. No and low regrets investment options reduce vulnerability to existing and future hazards, and perform well across a range of climate change scenarios. They can be implemented regardless of climate change uncertainty

Key messages:

  • No and low regrets options have the potential to offer benefits now and lay the foundation for addressing projected changes (IPCC, 2012)
  • The Caribbean Climate Online Risk and Adaptation TooL (CCORAL) can be used to identify no and low regret options
  • Water efficiency and improved Water management can deliver co-benefits across sectors and can support both adaptation and mitigation
  • Many of the actions implied by Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) are no or low regrets.
