It will be a signature event for the Global Water Partnership-Caribbean (GWP-C) and is expected to provide a dynamic platform to actively engage scientists, policy makers, youth and other stakeholder groups on water-related issues.<\/p>\n<p>Look out for more details soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The anticipated impacts of climate change have severe implications for the Caribbean\u2019s water security and overall development.
