- Rising sea levels, which could threaten coastal communities and infrastructure.
- More frequent and intense hurricanes and other extreme weather events.

- Increased temperatures, which could make it difficult for people to live and work in certain parts of the country.
- Changes in agricultural yields, which could affect the food supply and livelihoods of people in the Dominican Republic.
