AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoGeothermal Development: A five-year exclusive geothermal exploration permit for the Sud-Soufrière site in Guadeloupe has been granted to Albioma after a tender, covering parts of Capesterre-Belle-Eau, Gourbeyre, Saint-Claude, Trois-Rivières and Vieux-Fort (62 km²); the permit allows exploration work, but any drilling will require a separate request and environmental authorization from the prefecture, following public consultations held from 2022 to 2025. Heat & Flood Risk: The Caribbean Climate Outlook warns of intense heat, humid conditions and recurrent heatwaves into September, with a muted peak for hurricanes but a high to extremely high potential for flooding and flash floods from bouts of excessive rainfall, linked to a strengthening El Niño pattern and global warming. Travel Pressure on Nature: A travel feature highlights “off-the-grid” Caribbean towns for 2026, pushing readers toward less algorithm-driven destinations—an angle that can matter locally for how tourism demand may shift toward (or away from) fragile ecosystems.
