Climate Resilience Funding: The Caribbean Development Bank and the Green Climate Fund are backing a USD 27.1 million push to upgrade hydrometeorological services and multi-hazard early warning systems in Belize and Trinidad and Tobago, aiming to improve detection, forecasting, and timely alerts for extreme weather. Wildlife Safety: Belize’s Forest Department is urging people to stop feeding, approaching, or interacting with crocodiles after recent human-crocodile encounters, warning that mangroves, lagoons, wetlands, rivers, and coasts are shared habitat. Belize River Fish Kill Investigation: The Department of the Environment says it still hasn’t identified the cause behind the Belize River Valley fish kill; preliminary findings point to very low dissolved oxygen and other water changes, but samples are being sent abroad for specialized testing, and residents are told not to eat affected fish or use untreated river water. Corporate Response: Santander Sugar Group says it cooperated fully with investigators and insists its processing uses a closed-loop system with no routine discharge into the river, while also disputing links to nearby waterways. Species Recovery: Fifteen scarlet macaws were released back into the wild in Cayo after about 100 days of rehabilitation, part of ongoing efforts to protect Belize’s macaw population. Local Conservation Partnerships: Belize City is moving to strengthen its partnership with the Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association to support marine conservation and boost resilience to hurricanes and climate change. Forests & Public Engagement: The Forest Department invites the public to Climate Week in Punta Gorda, focused on “The Orange Economy and Technology,” including tools like the Greening Belize app and discussion on human-wildlife conflict. Urban Infrastructure Financing: Belize City was selected as a case study in a Commonwealth study on closing the urban finance gap, highlighting the need for long-term funding for drainage, roads, and maintenance—not just construction.
