Agriculture & Resilience: Two young farmers from Dominica were honoured in Grenada—Ephraim Elijah Roberts won the OECS Young Farmer Award and Dywany St. John was named CARICOM Young Farmer of the Year 2026, with both highlighting diversification, livestock, root and fruit crops, and added value like beekeeping. Climate & Water Risk: Caribbean leaders are being warned to prepare for a potentially severe drought and heat crisis stretching into 2027 as strengthening El Niño brings reduced rainfall and higher hot-spell days, raising pressure on water supplies, farming, and public health. Biodiversity Policy: CARICOM has begun national consultations on the Draft CARICOM Biodiversity Strategy and its Resource Mobilisation and Implementation Strategy, with Grenada stressing that climate resilience and biodiversity conservation must move together. Renewables Pipeline: Grenada is seeking consultants for an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for dual circuit transmission lines, substations and solar PV (with battery storage) at Pearls, as part of the OECS Data for Decision Making and renewable infrastructure push. Jobs & Inclusion: A UN regional campaign, HireAbility, is urging Caribbean employers to break barriers and expand decent, disability-inclusive employment, with Grenada’s youth advocate cited as a key driver. Youth in Nature: Duke of Edinburgh’s Award 2026 Summer Camp participants spent four nights outdoors in Grenada, hiking to waterfalls and taking part in wildlife encounters.
