AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoRegional Climate Outlook: Barbados and the wider Caribbean are bracing for intense heat, patchy rain, and a mixed hurricane signal through the rest of the wet season, with climatologists linking the pattern to a strengthening El Niño plus global warming; they warn of worsening humid heat and recurring heatwaves, while bursts of heavy rain raise the risk of flooding and flash floods. Energy & Environment: Guadeloupe’s Sud-Soufrière geothermal exploration permit has been granted to French firm Albioma for five years over 62 km² across several communes, following a 2021 tender; the permit allows exploration work, but any drilling still needs separate environmental authorization from the prefecture after public consultations held from 2022 to 2025. Local Relevance (Tourism & Nature): In Dominica, Secret Bay Resort & Residences is moving into its final residential phase with six new cliffside villas, two more spas, and a family pool pavilion—an expansion framed as lower-density growth that preserves rainforest and coastal surroundings. Sports (Low Priority for Climate): Canadian sailor Scott Shawyer is preparing for the 2028 Vendée Globe, a solo round-the-world race, with his IMOCA 60 campaign focused on speed and monitoring systems.
