Caribbean Future: Free Movement, Crime, Climate & Tourism—with Economist Marla Dukharan

Caribbean free movement, regional security reality, climate funding gaps, and tourism’s shaky economics — prominent Caribbean economist MARLA DUKHARAN joins me for a deep conversation on what’s really shifting across the region and what Caribbean states must confront next. This episode is Part 2 of my special series on the new CARICOM free movement agreement between Barbados, Belize, Dominica, and St. Vincent & the Grenadines. We dig into how it intersects with population decline and skilled labor shortages—but also geopolitical realignment, climate impacts and funding —why "climate justice" demands haven't worked — and the uncomfortable truth about tourism’s real contribution to Caribbean economies. If you follow the region, work in travel, or simply want to understand the forces reshaping the Caribbean right now, this conversation gives you the context you aren’t hearing anywhere else. ______ To follow Marla Dukharan's work: Free Caribbean Monthly Report and Newsletter: https://www.marladukharan.com LinkedIn:   / marladukharan   Instagram:   / marladukharan   X: https://x.com/Marladukharan Medium:   / marladukharan   Substack: https://substack.com/@marladukharan? .
