To be ready for climate change:

across SVG to protect against sea level rise, soil erosion and landslides.

• Climate change adaptation and mitigation subjects are added to the
curriculum in the 100 government schools.

• Pollution from plastic and other trash is reduced and is prevented from
ending up on beaches and in the ocean as well as blocking drains and rivers.
• The population has moved from high-risk areas like the oceanfront and river
banks.

• For emergencies:

• Affordable housing models to rebuild homes have been created.

• A manifold communication system is intact.
• Community groups are trained and mobilised to help people in need.

• Emergency shelters and clinics are well equipped.

• Emergency systems are in place to transport injured people to hospitals by
boat when roads are blocked.
