As #cop28 comes to a close, how is Cuba confronting climate change?

A major focus is the island-nation’s 100-year climate mitigation strategy, Tarea Vida, which includes efforts to restore Cuba’s coral reefs to protect against sea level rise.

Cuba’s coral reefs are among the largest and best kept in the Americas, something that expert Pedro Chevalier, PhD, of Cuba’s National Aquarium, says must be preserved.

"Nature is a long-term investment, not a short-term business. If we don't take care of our home, we will disappear as a species," Chevalier says.
