Episode Details

Caribbean nations are bearing the brunt of climate disasters, suffering over $53 billion in damage since 2000 — nearly 90% of all losses across 39 developing island nations. The human toll is staggering, with more than 190 deaths annually in these vulnerable regions. Despite contributing minimally to global emissions, they’re on the front lines, facing increasingly violent storms like Hurricane Melissa — the strongest ever recorded in Jamaica — which alone caused damage equal to half the country’s economy. With back-to-back catastrophes including Hurricane Beryl, thousands remain displaced, without power, water, or communication. The Caribbean is pushing for climate justice, even taking their case to the International Court of Justice, demanding accountability from the world’s biggest polluters.
