Cultural diversity refers to the variety of ethnic groups, such as Indians, Africans, Chinese and Europeans that exist within the Caribbean society and the particular ways of life manifested by each group. The cultural diversity of this region has resulted from colonization of the Europeans in the fifteenth century, the forced migration of the Africans between the mid- seventeenth to nineteenth century, and the voluntary migration of the Asians in the nineteenth century.

Each ethnic group brought with them their traditional practices, for example the Indians brought their traditional foods such as curry and other spices, and the Africans brought their religious practices such as voodoo. These practices by the ethnic groups have all been incorporated to create what is known as the “Caribbean Culture”. In other words, as a result of cultural diversity, we have developed our own unique identity which is associated only with the Caribbean.

Climate change is also a change in Earth's climate. This could be a change in Earth's usual temperature. Or it could be a change in where rain and snow usually fall on Earth. Weather can change in just a few hours. Climate takes hundreds or even millions of years to change.”

Climate change is of regional importance as most small islands are exposed to extreme weather events and changes in sea levels. These changes in climate can cause deterioration in coastal conditions, such as beach erosion, coral bleaching and rising sea levels.   With these factors small islands are  subject to intense hurricanes and subject to their  coastal reefs being destroyed which would thus affect tourism and state of their country. Countries which are highly dependent on tourism like The Bahamas would be highly affected by climate change and thus The Bahamas would be paying more attention to the changes in weather and would be taking the necessary measures in advance in other to sustain their country revenue making element in case of any natural disasters.
