TC intensification in the future is likely to cause severe damage to human settlements and infrastructure in small islands. Additionally, SLR is expected to cause significant losses and damages . Based on SLR projections, almost all port and harbour facilities in the Caribbean will suffer inundation in the future . In Jamaica and St. Lucia, SLR and ESLs are projected to be key risks to transport infrastructure at 1.5°C unless further adaptation is undertaken . Similar findings were reported for Samoa . Even islands of higher elevation are expected to be threatened, given the high amount of infrastructure located near the coast, for example, Fiji .
