Climate adaptation measures not expensive, says UWI lecturer

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - Barbados may have few excuses as to why it is falling behind in implementing certain climate adaptation measures, but money cannot be one of them. Speaking at a seminar last Thursday which examined “Water Management, Health and Climate Change Adaptation”, presenter Dr. Adrian Cashman, Senior Lecturer in Water Resources Management at the University of the West Indies suggested that Barbados could benefit from several simple adaptation measures which would position the country to better face the challenges of climate change, specifically the depletion of our natural water resources.
