AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoClimate Grants: The CABRIC programme (backed by the Green Climate Fund) is opening grant applications for Bahamian organisations to run locally led climate resilience projects, with about US$5m available for The Bahamas across Cat Island, Long Island and San Salvador; grants range from small (up to US$150k) to medium (US$150k–$300k) and large ($300k–$500k), targeting coastal erosion, extreme weather, ecosystem damage and livelihood threats. Water Security: A new look at desalination argues the technology has moved from “emergency” to mainstream water infrastructure, with CARICOM countries experimenting as climate cycles and groundwater declines intensify. Coral Resilience: Reporting highlights “super reefs,” where research finds nearly one-third of coral reefs may be more climate resilient than previously estimated—useful context for Bahamian reef protection. Hurricane Outlook: Forecasters say 2026’s Atlantic season has stayed unusually quiet, with El Niño, dust and wind shear suppressing storms, though a late surprise is still possible. Local Tech & Safety: Bahamas Aviation, Climate and Severe Weather Network (BACSWN) coverage continues to raise questions about fees and transparency tied to a proposed weather and flight-tracking capability. Environment & Industry: Bahama Rock’s expansion and potential production halt are driving fresh public debate over jobs, costs and environmental review.
