Inhalt: How to foster community impact? What makes a community resilient? Who needs to engage in climate adaptation action? This transdisciplinary community impact research project focuses on the intersection of climate resilience, communities and social entrerpreneurship. The setting of the project is Grenada, a Small Island State in the Southern Caribbean (Lesser Antilles) in which communities face continuous challenges to adapt to changing climatic conditions and threats to their livelihoods. In their quest to become a ‘climate resilient community’, people living in the Caribbean are currently struggling to mitigate and adapt to changing climatic conditions and impactful catastrophes, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and the pandemic. Building on results generated in the four previous years, student teams will focus on creating new solution-oriented transferable knowledge for peoples living on Grenada. To do so, a concrete entrepreneurial training interventions (STEP S) will be implemented with student mentors (on-site) and regional partners, for example the Saint George University.
