Belizeans to be Surveyed on Climate Change

Belize is one of five CARIFORUM countries that will participate in a survey on climate change being launched by a number of agencies in collaboration with the   Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre.  While predictions are that Caribbean countries are expected to face more adverse weather events, many citizens have not connected extreme weather events to climate change. The findings from Belize’s Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices on Climate Change will be used to develop a National Climate Change Public Education and Outreach Strategy.  A National Red Cross team will call or visit randomly selected households, in all instances strictly observing national COVID 19-safety protocols, to administer the survey. The survey began on September first and concludes in October.
