Climate Resilience: Dominica has officially launched the $25M DOMCREP (Green Climate Fund/UNFCCC via the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre), aiming to boost water security, emergency preparedness, and climate-smart support for more than 8,000 people across eight vulnerable communities, with farmers and agro-processors set to receive tools like irrigation, greenhouses, and other resilience tech. Renewable Power: PM Skerrit says Dominica is the first Caribbean country to bring geothermal energy onto the national grid, but commissioning teething issues are behind recent outages as testing and system integration continue.

Public Health Logistics: CARPHA trained 18 people from 15 member states on safe transport of infectious substances and diagnostic specimens, strengthening regional lab and pandemic preparedness capacity. Clean Energy for Fisheries: CRFM’s STAR-Fish project is ramping up clean energy interventions for fisheries and aquaculture, including renewable power and cold-chain improvements. Tourism & Travel Rules: The US denied a visa renewal for newly elected CHTA president Gregor Nassief, sparking debate over how tighter US measures tied to CBI screening may affect regional tourism operations. Local Tech & Innovation: Harris Paints unveiled its Quantum Dry tinting system, using solid pigment pearls and an AI colour-matching engine—an innovation now rolling out across the region. Youth Climate Learning: A Junior Climate Resilience Champions summer program will train about 125 children (ages 5–15) in climate and disaster readiness through hands-on community action.
