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.”

[May 09, 2026] Doomsday Clock is Getting Closer to Midnight: In January, the Doomsday clock was set to 85 seconds before midnight, the closest setting since it was established in 1947 in response to the threat of nuclear war. Sophie McBain in her article “‘The odds are not in our favour’: who sets the Doomsday Clock – and what can they tell us about the future of humanity?” emphasizes that with the wars on Iran and on the Ukraine, the rapid and largely uncontrolled development of AI and the climate breakdown all together increasing the likelihood of a nuclear war, the clock now stands closer to midnight than ever before. She asks the question of whether we can buy ourselves more time.
