AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoClimate & Security: ECOWAS Parliamentarians in Accra warned that climate change is now a security and governance crisis, linking droughts, floods, coastal erosion and degraded farmland to displacement and farmer-herder conflict, and urged a Regional Climate Resilience Fund, stronger early-warning systems, agroforestry and faster renewable energy rollout. Ocean Data for Industry: The EU and Canada launched the OceanEye International Alliance under the UN to back the Global Ocean Observing System, with pledges of at least €211m (EU €92m; Canada C$82m over five years) to keep ocean monitoring running for safer navigation, weather forecasting, climate prediction and coastal protection—key inputs for shipping and the “blue economy.” Cabo Verde at the UN: Cabo Verde’s PM Francisco Carvalho backed a UN declaration affirming the “presumption in favour of continued statehood” for climate-vulnerable small islands facing sea-level rise. Energy Access Snapshot: Afrobarometer data shows Cabo Verde has near-universal grid access (100%), while across Africa fewer than half get reliable electricity—highlighting the region’s uneven power reliability for industry and services. Maritime Weather Risk: Tropical Storm Gonzalo triggered Tropical Storm Warnings across the Cabo Verde Islands, underscoring near-term operational risk for ports and logistics.
