ABSTRACT
The need to establish climate change resilience frameworks for Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean at this present time is crucial. The devastation of Hurricane Dorian in The Bahamas underscores the need for island states to prepare adequately for these imminent threats. However, while a significant number of studies address the scientific and technical aspects of climate change resilience, the literature on the human and social factors is scarce. This paper examines aspects of the events of Hurricane Dorian to explore how issues of development, governance, and sustainability might come together in helping SIDS in the Caribbean develop robust climate change resilience frameworks.
