COP27: No Action, No Future
CBU AwardThe climate impacts predicted decades ago are now unfolding across Trinidad and Tobago. From the record rains of 2022 to the negotiating floor at COP27, Kalain traces what the world’s climate decisions mean for small island states, through the voices of the people on the front lines, academics, and T&T’s lead climate negotiator.

CBU Special MentionA breakdown of how and why flooding happens in Trinidad and Tobago, and why it keeps getting worse. Using real events from Port of Spain to Sangre Grande, satellite evidence, and expert insight, Kalain connects the science to the drivers: a changing climate, aging drainage, and rapid land development.

CBU Special MentionIn Woodland, a breach in the New Cut Channel lets the Gulf of Paria push saltwater inland, flooding farms and homes and poisoning the soil. Kalain reports on the residents caught between river and sea, and on the US$10M Adaptation Fund project racing to make the South Oropouche basin resilient to sea-level rise.
