These environment changes trigger economic risk, raise government spending, negatively affect unemployment, GDP, and tourism (key foundation in Guadeloupe economy)
Climate change and environmental issues affect Guadeloupe's economy because tourism and agriculture are at risk because of extreme weather in the region and chronic flooding the island experiences. These risks can make it difficult to grow GDP.
