The Ministry for Health, Environment and Sustainability recently hosted an inter-agency design workshop bringing together representatives from over 20 government ministries, departments and non-government stakeholders to participate in the co-creation of a resilience tool for the Cayman Islands, reported the Cayman Compass portal.
The interactive workshop, held at the Intergenerational Hub, a community space managed by the ministry, was facilitated by consultants from Integrated Risk Management Associates LLC (IRMA), who travelled to the Cayman Islands to deliver the all-day session.
The National Resilience project, which officially kicked off in July 2025, is being funded by the European Union through the Green Overseas Programme and implemented by MHES in partnership with Expertise France IRMA.
The project to develop an online platform to define, measure and monitor climate resilience is now more than halfway through its scheduled timeline. It originates from a key strategic action in the Cayman Islands Climate Change Policy 2024-2050 and is being created to enhance resilience across the policy’s six strategic focus areas: robust economy; livable built environment; healthy and resilient communities; resilient infrastructure networks; harmony with nature and integration and coordination.
The index will support stronger planning and help safeguard communities, infrastructure and the economy from growing climate risks.
