The spectrum of possible futures for Grenada is dominated by the triple challenge of a changed and changing climate, the loss of wildlife and biodiversity, and pollution from local to global scales. All Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are faced with finding and implementing pathways to ensure that they are prepared for the uncertain and challenging future they face. Grenada is no exception. In this VCC, we aim to convene stakeholders in a participatory efforts to develop transformative pathways that can prepare the country for the broad spectrum of possible futures. These pathways will aim at tackling the complex triple challenge in a social-ecological and economical approach that is ethically acceptable.

[Apr. 22, 2025] Dealing with drought and hurricane damage requires support from countries that benefited from slavery : In an article in The Guardian, Natricia Duncan emphasizes the extent of the drought and hurricane damage in the country of Grenada and reports that the government of Grenada has been advocating for more support from rich countries. She also points out that “Caribbean leaders have been stepping up their pursuit of reparatory justice over the centuries-long transatlantic slave trade, which saw more than 12.5 million Africans kidnapped, forcibly transported to the Americas and sold into slavery. They argue that enslavement and colonisation are still having detrimental impacts on their countries’ social and economic development.”
