The CARICHAM Centre of Excellence is a platform launched by the ARISE Network of Chambers of Commerce in the Caribbean (CARICHAM), aimed at enhancing the resilience of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) across the Caribbean.

Small businesses provide vital services to communities, but many are vulnerable to increasingly extreme weather as the climate warms. To help businesses prepare for climate impacts, the group works with chambers of commerce and offers a free toolkit.
