## Resource

Barbados could face four-month dry spells by mid-century, with drought becoming routine—threatening water, farms, and schools. A UNICEF-backed study warns Grenada is equally vulnerable, projecting 20-40% crop losses and worsening sanitation, especially in schools. Rising temps and erratic rain are already straining reservoirs, while overlapping heat and hurricane seasons demand urgent climate-resilient planning.
