Jamaica

Jamaica is the primary beneficiary of the ADAPT Jamaica project, which aims to enhance the climate resilience of its vulnerable smallholder farmers and agricultural sector, especially after Hurricanes Beryl and Melissa.

Jamaica was severely impacted by Hurricane Melissa, which made landfall as a Category 5 hurricane, causing millions of dollars in damage and at least 45 deaths. The storm left a lasting impact on the country's collective memory and development.

Jamaica is recognized as the home of the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre, which has been instrumental in the work for which Edmund Bartlett was awarded. This recognition enhances Jamaica's reputation as a leader in tourism resilience.

Jamaica has terminated its agreement with Cuba for the supply of doctors, succumbing to pressure from the United States. This action contributes to the reduction of Cuba's foreign medical mission earnings.

Jamaica, represented by Andrew Holness, advocates for democracy and constructive dialogue between Cuba and the United States to address the humanitarian crisis and ensure regional stability.
