AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Coastal Cleanup Call: Jamaica will observe International Coastal Cleanup Day on Sept. 19 under the theme “Away is a Place,” led by the Jamaica Environment Trust (JET), with volunteers removing plastics and Styrofoam from mangroves and shorelines; JET says last year’s effort drew 7,986 volunteers and collected 77,090 pounds of waste. Water Scarcity Response: The National Irrigation Commission (NIC) is rehabilitating about 700 metres of canals and replacing 1,400 metres of pipelines to cut leaks and improve irrigation access for farmers as dry conditions continue. Storm & Sea Warning: Jamaica’s Met Service warns of strong winds, rough seas and isolated thunderstorms through the weekend, with the worst conditions Friday and Saturday—especially for southern parishes and marine areas. Coastal Buffer Project: The Urban Development Corporation is advancing the Kingston Harbour Walk, a planned 25-kilometre linear park from downtown Kingston to Port Royal, designed to strengthen climate resilience and add public recreation space. Biodiversity Under Pressure: A new IUCN Red List update highlights how deep-sea mining threatens hydrothermal-vent molluscs, with 62% of endemic vent species at risk. Local Climate Resilience Talk: Jamaica’s climate resilience plan is highlighted by UN Climate Change as an example for other countries.
