Climate Adaptation Planning: Grenada held a validation workshop for its Citizen’s Guide to Climate Change Adaptation, updating the National Adaptation Plan 2025–2030 with clearer, more practical guidance for communities. Marine Life Protection: CYEN Grenada is urging residents and visitors to protect sea turtles during nesting season—reduce noise and lighting, keep dogs away, and report nesting activity or injuries.
