Affects of Climate Change the Belize’s Exports

Christopher Tillett ⟨ctillett@my.apsu.edu⟩

Abstract:

This research delves into how climate change can affect Belize’s sugar cane industry, increasing market, environmental, and credit risks. Belize is a small Caribbean country whose geographical location makes it vulnerable to various climatic events. This study aims to inform its audiences of the impact these natural phenomena have on the country’s agricultural sector through an examination of the sugar cane industry. By utilizing a combination of historical data, case studies, and industry research, the research aims to assess the resultant market risks. By integrating quantitative assessments and qualitative perspectives, the study seeks to quantify and qualify the implications of these market dynamics. The outcomes of this research can reignite the discussion on minimizing the impact these storms have on the farmers and overall industry.
