The island of Grenada in the Caribbean Sea suffered major damage from Hurricane Beryl last year. Houses, schools, and hospitals were destroyed, and thousands of people were left homeless. Experts say that due to the rapid warming of the seas, more powerful hurricanes may occur in the future.

Funds often come in the form of loans, which push small states deeper into debt. For this reason, local activists are demanding greater responsibility from larger countries.
According to experts, combating climate challenges requires not only economic but also cultural strength. Grenada’s ancient traditions unite people and serve as a source of spiritual support.
