AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Regional Earthquake Watch: A magnitude 6.0 quake struck the eastern Caribbean Saturday at 5:27 p.m., with tremors felt in Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines; the UWI Seismic Research Centre is urging residents to submit felt reports as monitoring continues. Coastal Resilience & Sargassum: OECS partners met in Dominica for a SARSEA workshop to strengthen regional technical collaboration on sargassum management, biodiversity protection, and coastal resilience, supported by AFD and implemented with Expertise France and the OECS Commission. Health Tech & Medicines Access: PAHO/WHO and OECS-PPS convene a Saint Lucia workshop to launch a Technical Working Group focused on improving access to safe, quality-assured medicines and health technologies across the Eastern Caribbean, including better procurement, forecasting, and pooled purchasing. Climate & Water Stress: New reporting highlights 2026 climate swings—drought, sea-level pressure, and extreme heat linked to a strong El Niño—raising risks for freshwater supplies, agriculture, and tourism infrastructure. Agriculture Trade & Fair Pricing: St Lucia’s agriculture ministry marked the passing of Renwick Rose, a WINFA and Fairtrade leader credited with helping small farmers secure fairer global trade terms. Local Energy & Skills: LUCELEC held its 2025 Staff Awards, recognising teams and staff for performance gains and progress on reliability amid changing economic and regulatory conditions. Youth & Tourism Innovation: Students from Saint Lucia and other CTO member states advanced to the Regional Nex-Gen Tourism Showcase finals in New York, pitching investment-ready, sustainable tourism proposals. Justice System Upgrade: Government updates point to continued Swift Justice Project work, backlog reduction, expanded virtual court operations, and courthouse upgrades to improve court efficiency and public confidence. GHG Data for Farming: Taiwan Technical Mission staff joined a national greenhouse gas inventory validation workshop in Micoud, supporting better emissions data analysis for crop production through CCMRVH-linked projects. Sports Tech & Community: The Saint Lucia Semi-Professional Football League kicks off its third season June 27 with higher pay, new leadership, and added technology, plus a revised second-division format.
