CARICOM Leaders Open Summit Amid Climate Change Concerns

Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders opened their three-day summit in Grenada on Sunday, with proceedings overshadowed by the ongoing impact of climate change on their nations. Just four weeks into the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season, the region experienced the devastation of a category five hurricane. The forty-seventh regular meeting of CARICOM will cover a wide range of issues, including agri-food systems, nutrition security, climate change, sustainable development, foreign policy, and the CARICOM Single Market and Economy. Today, two of CARICOM’s longest-serving heads of government have welcomed the results of the recent presidential elections in Venezuela, though some colleagues have taken a more cautious and diplomatic stance.
