About this lesson

A closer look

Crab Hill is a quiet farming community of about 662 people at the northern tip of Barbados. Researchers worked with residents to understand how flooding, invasive seaweed, poor roads, and unreliable water affect daily life and health. This lesson shows how a local case study can reveal the ways climate change and infrastructure combine to shape a community's well-being.
