The project Climate-Resilient Water Sector in Grenada (G-CREWS) aims at mainstreaming and implementing climate resilience throughout Grenada’s entire national water sector. The project’s holistic approach addresses two main climate risks and vulnerabilities of Grenada: freshwater availability and disaster preparedness. The project supports Grenada’s water sector in both reducing its water demand and improving water availability so that Grenada is able to ensure resilience to climate variability and expected future climate change until 2050.
