Violeta Consulting Services, established in August 2010 and headquartered in Barbados, is a distinguished firm dedicated to providing rigorous development economics research with an emphasis on the multifaceted polycrisis confronting Small Vulnerable Economies. This polycrisis—characterized by the interlinked and compounding challenges of climate change, disaster risk, economic volatility, and resource scarcity—necessitates comprehensive analysis and strategic interventions at the national, regional, and international levels.

The principal objectives of the firm are as follows:

• To equip clients with an enhanced understanding of green and blue economic paradigms, evaluated through an integrated economic, social, and environmental framework that acknowledges the complex interactions and systemic risks inherent in the polycrisis;

• To promote the adoption of corporate social responsibility within organizations by elucidating the enduring benefits of sustainable consumption and production practices, particularly as mechanisms for resilience amidst converging crises;

• To disseminate knowledge and raise public awareness concerning the emergent challenges at the Water-Energy-Food-Climate Nexus, underscoring the cascading effects and vulnerabilities posed by interdependent crises;

• To engage and collaborate with key stakeholders across the public and private sectors, academic institutions, civil society and vulnerable/marginalized groups to advance sustainable development policies and strategies that address the intricate and interconnected nature of the polycrisis.
