Climate Resilience Funding (CABRIC): The Caribbean CABRIC programme is opening grant applications for locally led climate resilience projects, with about US$25m across The Bahamas, Belize, Grenada, Jamaica and St Lucia (around US$5m per country). Grants range from small (up to US$150,000) to medium (US$150,000–US$300,000) and large (US$300,000–US$500,000), targeting coastal erosion, extreme weather, ecosystem degradation and livelihood threats. Food Security & Agriculture: OECS and Grenada hosted the Youth and Women in Agriculture Symposium, pushing agricultural transformation and regional trade commitments, with leaders stressing the Caribbean’s heavy food import bill (US$658m annually) and the need for youth and women-led solutions. Disaster-Ready Schools: Grenada handed over the reconstructed St Dominic’s RC School Block #5, designed as a climate-resilient learning space and emergency shelter, funded by CDB and the Basic Needs Trust Fund Programme. Water Security Debate: A look at whether desalination can solve water problems highlights both its growing role in coastal water security and the environmental and energy risks it brings. Health & Preparedness: Grenada advanced pandemic readiness by validating updates to its National Respiratory Pathogen Preparedness and Response Plan, supported by PAHO/WHO. Local Environment Calls: A Grenada Clean and Healthy Ocean project is seeking a communications and stakeholder engagement consultant to boost waste management and public awareness.
