The Agriculture Orientation Index (AOI) in Latin America and the Caribbean has declined from 0.33 in 2015 to 0.26 in 2017, showing an increasingly higher public underinvestment in agriculture in the region. The Agriculture Orientation Index (AOI) measures how regions and countries contribute to the development of the agricultural sector, comparing the central government's contribution to agriculture with the own sector's contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). An AOI of less than one (1) indicates that the agricultural sector depends less on governmental spending than on its own contribution to the domestic economy, whereas a score of more than 1 shows a higher governmental involvement in agricultural development, compared to the sector's contribution to GDP. All throughout the period of consideration, the AOI showed scores well below one in Latin America and the Caribbean, a region whose economy has been traditionally dependent on agricultural revenues.

Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are qualified as disproportionately vulnerable to climate change, including climate extremes like hurricanes. Yet, there is a paucity of research regarding climate risks that refer to health and human mobility, and there is a need for vulnerability and adaptation assessment in Caribbean SIDS. Our study discusses risks and vulnerabilities including local adaptive capacity in a Caribbean context to inform future adaptation measures to climate change. Our discussion is based on qualitative data collected in the Caribbean islands of Dominica and Guadeloupe. The data emanates from semi-structured interviews organized between March 2020 and January 2021 with people who were either displaced within Dominica following climate extremes that struck Dominica in 2015 (Tropical storm Erika) and 2017 (Hurricane Maria), and also with people who migrated to Guadeloupe in 2017. Interview guides were based on conceptual frameworks on climate change, migration and health, and vulnerability to climate change. Data was analyzed deductively, based on frameworks and inductively to allow new codes to emerge. Participants demonstrated diverse perspectives on climate change. The study highlighted the significance of social ties and resources in supporting local adaptive capacity and mobility in response to climate extremes. Agriculture’s vulnerability raised concerns for long-term economic implications and food security. Some recommendations for building local adaptive capacity to climate change underscore the need for knowledge and information exchange between actors and institutions, and community inclusion; equity; enhanced coordination between government and local actors and decentralisation; and public health programmes and resources. Institutions such as health, education and media should be strengthened to build adaptive capacities for communities in the face of climate change.
