In attempting to understand the divide between science/research and policy/use in disaster risk reduction in small states, this chapter aims to underscore the potential value and utility of climate information. We define climate information, review its nature and utility globally, and discuss the variability in verified climate information for highly climate-vulnerable but data-poor countries. Such a chapter has the potential to engage the science-policy dialogue of encouraging the development and use of climate information, especially at this time when governments and various agencies are interested in building and fostering resilience following recent disasters and impacts, and within the context of a region whose vulnerability will increase with climate change.

In 2019, the mid-term evaluation was due for the Comprehensive Disaster Management (CDM) Strategy and Programming Framework 2014–2024 in the Caribbean. This environmental governance framework is an agreed consensus to achieve disaster risk reduction (DRR) in the Caribbean region and it aligns with Jamaica’s Vision 2030 National Development Plan. The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM) and the Disaster Risk Reduction Centre (DRRC) are two of the leading organisations in Jamaica implementing DRR projects at the national level within the CDM Framework. However, the gender components of the various projects are almost invisible, although the framework indicates gender mainstreaming is a priority. The framework recommends a gender analysis of all projects implemented as a strategy to disaster risk reduction. Based on this recommendation, gender analysis was conducted on available projects of the ODPEM and DRRC. This chapter is guided by the gender equality principles of social justice, commitment, partnership and citizens’ participation. Two methods of research were employed, namely, a desk review of the literature, government and organisations’ official documents and interviews with DRR specialists. Qualitative data were collected and analysed using content analysis and pattern matching. The findings include best practices for an inclusive disaster preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation based on gender considerations. Gender-specific gaps were identified between the framework and actual implementation. Recommendations were put forward for a more effective gender mainstreaming in the governance and implementation of DRR in Jamaica, which may also be applicable to other small island developing states (SIDS). These findings could contribute to the Monitoring and Evaluation Reporting Framework, which is an integral component of the CDM Strategy and Programming Framework 2014–2024.
