Reception

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.

You can join us as a VCC member and help us with developing the pathways to desirable futures for Grenada. Just sign up and contribute.

[Apr 14, 2026] The Beauty of Grenada: A few of Sir Steve McQueen's pictures of the flowers in Grenada from his photobook Bounty: “I wanted to see what the Arawaks, the Caribs, the Europeans, the Africans, the migrant Chinese and Indian workers would have seen within the one constant thing which would have brought attention to their gaze, a thing of beauty. A thing that wasn’t for any use other than to admire”
“Sometimes the most horrific things happen in the most beautiful places. That’s the perversity of life.”

[Jul 18, 2026] Air Water in Grenada: Access to drinking water is increasingly an issue in Grenada and many other islands in teh Caribbean. The start-up company Air Water 4U is bringing the technology to harvest water from the humidity in the air to Grenada and the Caribbean. Water from air can meet the drinking water needs in the Caribbean. Atmospheric water generation is a technology that provides climate-resilient access to safe and clean drinking water. If combined with solar energy it is the most and only sustainable supply of drinking water. The AW4U VCC is the place to discuss how the different islands in the Caribbean can best benefit from this innovative approach.

[Aug 03, 2026] Hothouse Earth: arriving sooner than you think…: Julian Cribb writes in his latest blog: “Latest measurements, carefully analysed to exclude anomalies such as El Nino, reveal a planet cooking up at a steady 0.48 degrees per decade since 2015, in what is thought to be the most rapid heating event in all its geological history.” We are experiencing the most rapid heating event in Earth's billions of years long history! We have caused this event with a few hundred years of sole focus on unlimited growth using all the ancient solar energy accumulated by Earth's biosphere over more than 250 million years - just because we could! That is something to reflect on!

[Jun 04, 2026] ‘An equal and habitable world is possible’: This is what the Global Justice Report published today makes very clear. Read the article by Jonathan Watts in the Guardian as an introduction. While this equal and habitable world is still possible, it is very unlikely that we will transition to this world as long as greedy and unethical billionaires supported by governments they own compete to be the first trillionaire. The report underlines that the fight for an equal and habitable world has to be a fight against a system that rewards extraction and depletion of all resources and requires infinitely growing consumption devouring the Earth's life-support system; a system designed to increase inequality and sustain the exploitation of almost all to serve the greed of a few!
