AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoTropical Weather Watch: Meteorologists are tracking a new tropical wave moving through the Atlantic, expected to reach the eastern Caribbean by late Monday night into Tuesday morning, with Grenada among the likely affected islands; showers may be “broken” (some places get downpours, others stay dry), with localized rain totals of about 50–75 mm and elevated seas reported around 7–12 feet, while the wave is expected to weaken and possibly “fizzle” by Tuesday afternoon. Climate-Resilient Schools: OECS, with UNICEF support, wrapped up a New Zealand-funded project to strengthen disaster-ready schools in climate-vulnerable indigenous communities, including Atkinson Primary School in Dominica (a new 100-foot drainage system for flooding and hurricane-protection doors) and Sandy Bay Government School in St Vincent and the Grenadines (emergency communications and backup power like solar lighting and generators). Development Delivery Check: The Caribbean Development Bank and the World Bank agreed follow-up actions after a joint portfolio review of 11 active Grenada projects, spanning coastal protection, water supply, health, education, agriculture, renewable energy and monitoring—aimed at stronger implementation and resilience. Extreme Heat Risk: A new regional look at extreme heat highlights which countries are most exposed in coming years, underscoring heat as a major, often overlooked climate threat.
