The tiny Caribbean island of Grenada is one of the smallest independent countries in the western hemisphere.
Known as the Spice island, it is the world's second-largest producer of nutmeg after Indonesia and a significant producer of mace, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. It also boasts beautiful scenery with fertile valleys, rainforests and mountain lakes and its tropical climate and excellent beaches are a big draw for tourists (BBC, 2019).
Due to Grenada’s physical and financial vulnerability to disasters, building climate resilience is at the centre of its policy agenda and priorities (World Bank, 2020).
