St. George's University and the Windward Islands Research and Education Foundation (WINDREF) have been selected by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to establish a Regional Collaborating Center (RCC) for the Caribbean. The partnership, between the department of public health and preventive medicine (DPHPM) at St. George's University, WINDREF and UNFCCC, will be based on the University's True Blue campus in Grenada and continues UNFCCC's implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, signed in 1997.
