AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Climate Services in Belize: Belize’s 14th National Climate Outlook Forum opened at the Biltmore Plaza, with meteorologists and disaster managers reviewing the seasonal outlook for the next six months amid El Niño—fewer storms, less rain, and possible drought—so agriculture, water, energy, tourism, and emergency teams can plan ahead. Early Warnings Pay Off: A separate analysis highlighted how Belize’s National Meteorological Service and NEMO coordination turns forecasts and warnings into real economic and social benefits, showing the value of the whole system, not just the forecast. Coastal Development Scrutiny: Hol Chan Marine Reserve retracted Letters of No Objection for projects not yet started, aligning with a government-wide moratorium on new structures and dredging to better protect marine habitats and wildlife. Blue Economy & Fisheries Inclusion: The 9th Annual Women in Fisheries Forum pushed for more women’s access to training, financing, and opportunities in Belize’s Blue Economy, where women remain under 4% of the sector. Sustainable Farming for Resilience: A Sustainable Livestock Project closing ceremony in Cayo wrapped up training for climate-smart cattle practices like rotational grazing and electric fencing to protect natural resources while improving productivity. Sugar Season Update: Belize’s 2026 sugar crop is set to close Sunday evening (June 21) after stakeholders assessed remaining cane, factory intake, and weather—while farmers plan final harvests to get cut cane to the mill on time. Governance & Forest Allegations: Contractor General Maria Arthurs was sworn in for a second term as Belize continues scrutiny around public contracts, including a high-profile dispute involving the acting Chief Forest Officer John Pinelo and allegations of extortion/bribery.
