Adaptation: Strengthening infrastructure, protecting coastlines, and preparing communities.
Mitigation: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy and efficiency.
Conservation: Safeguarding ecosystems as natural defenses.
Public Engagement: Educating and empowering communities to take action.
By embedding these priorities into national planning, Cayman reduces risks while building confidence among investors, residents, and visitors.
