Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago – The growing frequency and intensity of tropical storms and other natural disasters have pushed Caribbean countries to prioritize their response planning. Tackling the challenges of human mobility in the context of disasters and climate change in the region has become a top concern.  

Under the framework of the Caribbean Migration Consultations (CMC), the Government of the Dominican Republic, with the support of IOM, hosted a workshop with the participation of officials and decision makers of the Caribbean, to raise awareness and strengthen the regional capacities on humanitarian assistance and protection of the displaced people and migrants affected by natural disasters.
