In recent decades, temperatures have increased significantly which could lead to many problems for Dominica. With the warming of temperatures there could be a higher chance of coral bleaching leading to damage and killing of the coral reefs. The death of the coral reefs leads to a loss of habitat for fishes, eventually leading to the decline in fish population affecting the fish industry. Similarly, crops like bananas are sensitive to temperature changes, so as temperatures rise the yields reduce. This will threaten the work of farmers, food security, and exports. Since Dominica is dependent on the income that tourists bring in, if the natural environment gets destroyed, the tourism constributions to the economy will decrease.

A plan developed after Hurricane Maria in 2017, this is a plan that would transform Dominica to be a climate-resilient nation. In this plan, Dominica hopes to run on 100% renewable energy, increase in farmers, greenhouses, and techonology transfers. This could lead to Dominica being the first climate-resilient nation by 2030 if they are successful.
