Grenada's Environmental Focus
Grenada's Environmental Focus
Grenada faces many different environmental challenges across its islands since it faces coastal vulnerability. While the severity of these challenges varies from time to time, they are still highly driven by ongoing climate change. Some of these challenges include water scarcity such as droughts from higher temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, and rising sea levels, or saltwater intrusion into their water supply. They also are facing increased intensity with storms, costal erosion, and coral reef degradation. All of these issues are continuously rising due to climate change problems, and another major issues the islands have a hard time dealing with is solid waste management making it hard to keep their islands clean. A large part of Grenada's economy comes from tourist, but with these issues becoming more persistent and intense it drives away the tourism demand. There is less appeal to visit the islands but St. George, the capital city, still reels in decent tourism. However, if problems become unmanageable tourism will keep declining and with this, so will the economy of Grenada.
