Launch of the CARICOAST Network for Coastal Resilience in the Caribbean

Are you interested in or working on coastal resilience in the Caribbean?

Join us on 4 December 2026 for the official launch of the CARICOAST Network on weADAPT—a new and evolving online community of practice developed in collaboration with ITACA Solutions to connect, support, and amplify those working on coastal resilience and climate adaptation across the region. Whether you are engaging with communities on the ground, conducting research, teaching, implementing policy, or developing innovative solutions, this space is designed to support your work and raise its visibility.

Hosted on weADAPT, the CARICOAST Network will be an inclusive, open-access hub where members can:

• Share Knowledge: Access and contribute to a growing repository of tools, case studies, insights, and practical experiences on climate adaptation and resilience in the Caribbean. Anyone can upload and showcase their work.
• Connect: Engage with peers, organizations, and experts to form partnerships, expand your network, and build visibility for your initiatives.
• Collaborate: Take part in discussions, exchange best practices, explore common challenges, and co-create solutions through dedicated forums and thematic spaces.

The CARICOAST Network brings together professionals and practitioners working across sectors and scales to strengthen coastal and ocean resilience in the Caribbean and adjacent regions. This community highlights practical solutions and shared learning on topics including:

• Coastal ecosystem restoration and protection (mangroves, reefs, dunes)
• Climate-smart fisheries and adaptive coastal livelihoods
• Blue carbon and ocean finance
• Nature-based solutions
• Disaster risk reduction and early warning systems
• Adaptation policy, metrics, and planning
