This case study examines the cost of the impacts of climate change on Jamaica. The analysis reveals that the current cumulative loss of GDP due to damage associated with natural disasters was estimated to be in the order of $120 billion (7 percent of GDP). When this is coupled with potential climate change induced impacts, such as an increase in the number of extreme hurricanes, the figure is even more worrisome as it is likely to rise.
