Resilient Heritage Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago is at the forefront of efforts to protect their heritage from climate within the Caribbean region. As a small island developing state, multiple hazards threaten this twin island nation and its heritage. Despite these challenges, Trinidad and Tobago has successfully merged technological innovations with community and stakeholder initiatives, to create a possible replicable methodology for the wider Caribbean region. This chapter examines how heritage can be an active nexus for co-producing knowledge, resilience, and adaptation strategies through a case study of the Resilient Heritage: Trinidad and Tobago Project. This project developed the management frameworks for conservation and adaptation through a value-based approach that embedded community and stakeholder engagement throughout the process. Moreover, this project showcased heritage as a lens through which people can access information on climate change in tangible and impactful ways.
