Abstract
In the context of the climate crisis, community resilience is vital in addressing environmental challenges. This study examines climate change resilience on Roqueta Island, Acapulco, Mexico. The objective was to assess Roqueta Island's resilience strategies in the face of climate threats, hypothesizing that these measures encounter challenges due to climate threats and tourism. Justification: Acapulco bay faces tropical storms, and Roqueta Island is crucial; understanding how resilience and tourism impact sustainability is essential. Methodology: We conducted comprehensive documentary research on climate change, resilience, and island tourism. Six field trips with participant observation took place from January to July 2023. Results: Acapulco bay faces constant climate threats. Roqueta Island, vital to Acapulco, is impacted by intensive tourism. Local conservation efforts, sometimes with tourist concessionaires, aid preservation but face challenges. Conclusions: Extreme weather increasingly affects the Mexican tropics. Despite resilience measures, they're deemed insufficient to address climate change and tourism. Robust strategies are urgently needed to safeguard Roqueta Island's environment
