Regional Digital Resilience
Due to their inherent environmental, economic, and social vulnerabilities as Small Island and Low Lying Coastal Developing States (SIDS), CARICOM Member States have placed strong emphasis on digital development.
The CARICOM Secretariat is accelerating efforts toward a Single ICT Space to leverage Information and Communication Technologies as drivers of regional socio-economic development. Addressing the digital divide, security threats, cyber risks, and environmental impacts is critical to those efforts. Attention must be paid to equitable connectivity, robust security measures, and collaborative responses to cyber safety and inclusivity in the digital era.
