Cuba is an archipelago in the Caribbean  comprisinges the island of Cuba, the Isle of Youth and thousands of smaller islands and cays, small, low-lying islets.  Cuba is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate variability. It depends heavily on rainwater as its sole water resource, making it susceptible to changes in precipitation patterns. Rising temperatures also pose public health risks, including an increased prevalence of diseases such as dengue fever, diarrhea, chickenpox, and other viral infections. Additionally, Cuba faces challenges from rising sea levels, higher temperatures, and decreasing rainfall. Key economic sectors such as agriculture, forestry, and tourism are particularly at risk from these climatic changes (World Bank Climate Change Knowledge Portal).
