 | The global climate is changing: The Bahamas Series of four films about climate change in the Caribbean Islands. The global climate is changing, and the Caribbean region is feeling the change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in its Fourth Assessment Report (2007), stated that climate change is unequivocal. Observed trends include higher global surface temperatures, sea level rise, changes in rainfall patterns, and higher frequency and intensity of extreme events such as floods, droughts and heat waves. The impacts of climate change are particularly worrying for the Caribbean, with many small island states that are extremely vulnerable: Hurricanes have increased in intensity since the 1970s, and it is likely that we will see further increases during the 21st century. Sea level rise is expected to exacerbate inundation, storm surge and other coastal hazards. Coastal conditions are likely to deteriorate, for example through beach erosion and coral bleaching. Water resources in many islands are expected to become insufficient to meet demand during low-rainfall periods. New climate patterns are expected to change the geographic range of mosquito-borne diseases (such as malaria and dengue), as well as increase heat stroke and other health risks, notably for children and the elderly. The potential implications of these climatic changes are enormous, not only from the perspective of disaster risk reduction but also with regards to regional development. Economic activities such as tourism, fisheries and agriculture are very sensitive to climatic conditions. Climate change threatens vital infrastructure, settlements and facilities that support livelihoods. While the worst long-term effects may still be avoided if greenhouse gas emissions are drastically reduced, global climate change is here to stay -- and will accelerate. The Caribbean region has no choice but to cope with the impacts of climate change, which may be aggravated by increasing vulnerability resulting from unsound environmental practices, demographic changes, social inequities and economic short-sightedness. Additionally, there is the risk that the increased occurrence of climate-related disasters may trap people in vicious circles: if the most vulnerable communities are hit more frequently or intensely, they become even more vulnerable to disasters.

 | Bangladesh please for action on climate change - 06 Oct 2008 In 1995, scientists issued the first Global warming alert, but today, experts say that at least one fifth of Bangladesh will be swallowed up by rising sea levels within 50 years. Al Jazeera travels to Bangladesh to see the impact of environmental policy where the remainder of the country is expected to follow by the end of the century. |

 | Climate change: turning the tide The global climate is changing, and people all over the world are confronting new, more severe risks. Climate change will have major implications for humanitarian organisations like the Red Cross / Red Crescent. The expected increase of floods, droughts, intense cyclones, heat waves, sea level rise, pests and diseases will affect millions of the most vulnerable people all over the word, in particular the poorest people in the poorest countries. Already the world is confronted with an increase in weather related disasters, further complicating the work humanitarian organisations, whose capacities to respond are already stretched. It is therefore crucial for the Red Cross/Red Crescent to understand the changing risks and prepare for them rather than only respond to the consequences; from local communities all around the world to the International Federation headquarters in Geneva.

 | Race and Racism in Latin America: The Caribbean - 24 Jul 08 New laws aimed at curbing illegal migration in the Caribbean have left thousands of first generation Dominicans unable to work, study or travel. Authorities there in charge of issuing documents no longer recognise them as citizens ... even though the Constitution does. Many say it is because of the colour of their skin. In the first part of our series on race and racism in Latin America, Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman reports from the Dominican Republic. |
