Description

Where others see challenges, we see opportunities and the first quarter of 2025 has proven just that. The OECS Environmental Sustainability Division entered the year with
renewed vigour, continuing our mission to build a resilient, climate-smart future for our region. This edition of GreenLink reflects the momentum we’ve built together as we move from advocacy to action.

In March, we celebrated the International Day of Forests, reaffirming our commitment to the forests that sustain our ecosystems and support livelihoods. We also launched Power Below the Surface: Harnessing Geothermal Energy in the OECS, spotlighting our region’s drive toward clean,
renewable energy.

With support from the European Union’s Euroclima programme, we hosted a regional climate finance training workshop in Saint Lucia, followed closely by the Third NDCFI Investment Forum in Grenada, where regional and international leaders mobilised partnerships and financing for climate action. Meanwhile, biodiversity planning is gaining momentum in Anguilla, Montserrat, and the Virgin Islands under the BioSPACE Project a testament to the OECS’ commitment to inclusive environmental governance.
