Officially opened in August 2005, the Centre is the key node for information on climate change issues and on the region’s response to managing and adapting to climate change in the Caribbean.

*The Center emphasizes action and results. Based on careful research and analysis, it is prepared to take timely action on important and pressing issues.
*The Center does not duplicate the effective efforts of others.
*The Center addresses difficult problems and recognizes the possibility of failure as an acceptable risk.
*The Center is nonpartisan and acts as a neutral in dispute resolution activities.
*The Center believes that people can improve their lives when provided with the necessary skills, knowledge, and access to resources.
*The Carter Center collaborates with other organizations, public or private, in carrying out its mission.
