The CRH developed the ground-breaking web-based and open-source “Caribbean Climate Online Risk and Adaptation Tool” (CCORAL), a Caribbean-focused tool to help organisations make climate resilient decisions. Hosting nearly 300 actions in various stages of preparation and completion initiated in the region over the last ten years and coded against the Regional Framework. 

CCORAL is a system which helps decision makers to see all kinds of activities through a ‘climate’ or ‘climate change’ lens, and to identify actions that minimise climate related loss, take advantage of opportunities and build climate resilient development in their countries. It takes a pragmatic approach, promoting the right tools and techniques to fit the context of Caribbean decision making, available time and resources and uncertainty about climate variability and change. 

Eventually, the CRH was commissioned to design a training package on how to use the tool that would be delivered across 16 countries of the CARIFORUM, including Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, St Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, Guyana, Grenada, Saint Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago.
