Communicating environmental resilience in a changing climate through biodiversity conservation in the UK Overseas Territories

The UK's Overseas Territories (UKOT's) are highly dependent on the natural environment for their economic and social wellbeing. They are also reliant on limited infrastructure. In the Caribbean in particular, this infrastructure, and human life, are vulnerable to both natural and anthropogenic hazards. The natural environment is itself susceptible to damage from human activities - resulting in loss of value to the economy and reducing its ability to protect assets and human well-being.
