Climate Planning Gaps: A UNICEF study found regional climate plans lack child-specific indicators and measurable targets, making it hard to track whether climate spending is actually helping children. Grenada Waste Management Boost: Grenada commissioned a commercial glass pulveriser (EC$486,000) funded via the Tourism Enhancement Fund to strengthen glass recovery and cut recyclable waste entering the stream. Blue Economy Funding: Action Bequia Inc. was selected for Caribbean Biodiversity Fund BluEFin seed funding (up to US$250,000), backing solutions to reduce plastic and marine pollution and support biodiversity and climate resilience. Marine Conservation Week: Grenada will host its 5th Dive and Conservation Festival (Oct 26–Nov 1) with reef and wreck exploration plus hands-on education under a “Sustainable Legacy” theme. Fisheries Resilience Project: A US$12.55m GEF-funded CC4FISH-II initiative is set to build climate and disaster resilience in Caribbean fisheries through 2030, benefiting fisherfolk and coastal communities across the region. Coastal Cleanup Mobilisation: Sandals Foundation coordinated International Coastal Cleanup Day in Grenada with 70 volunteers tackling litter along the airport top road to Devil’s Bay. Youth Voice in Climate Decisions: A Grenada-linked youth advocate called for meaningful youth participation from the start of climate decision-making, not token involvement.
