Many existing systems are outdated and unable to cope with severe weather events. This study reviews recent research on UWI's sustainability in the context of climate change and emphasizes the need to integrate climate considerations into planning and management. It identifies severe flooding and water shortages as major issues while also noting that rising temperatures can worsen these challenges.
