AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoClimate & Children: A UNICEF-backed study warns there’s “no safe zone” for Eastern Caribbean children: more than 9 in 10 could be exposed to at least three climate hazards by mid-century, with rising heat, drought, stronger hurricanes and sea-level rise already affecting schools and health facilities across Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines. Fisheries Resilience Funding: St Kitts and Nevis is set to benefit from the US$12.55m GEF-backed CC4FISH-II project, launching in Dominica, targeting climate and disaster resilience for fisheries and coastal livelihoods through 2030. Climate Finance Accountability: Another UNICEF study finds 40 climate plans across Barbados and five Eastern Caribbean countries lack child-focused indicators and tracking, making it hard to prove climate spending benefits children. Nevis Banking Court Scrutiny: A High Court “Judgments Omnibus” by Justice Iain Morley KC puts Nevis’ offshore banking under intense review, with BONI and Hamilton Reserve Bank facing possible licence action amid large depositor payment disputes. Independence Governance Agenda: The National Assembly is set to consider a Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (first reading) plus second readings for the Payment Systems and Services Bill and the Liquor Licence (Amendment) Bill. Independence & National Pride: Acting PM Geoffrey Hanley marked National Heroes Day, while the country prepares for Independence 43 celebrations and National Patriotic Day on Sept 18. Business & Skills: CARPHA and UWI wrapped a regional lab networking workshop (CariPHLN), and Nevis business leaders were recognized by the Chamber for community impact.
