AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Hurricane Resilience: Belize secured up to US$20 million in parametric hurricane disaster protection via the IDB and Swiss Re, with fast payouts triggered by pre-agreed storm conditions (coverage runs Aug. 1, 2026 to May 31, 2028). Early Warnings: A US$27.1M CDB-backed weather and early-warning project will strengthen forecasting and faster public alerts for hurricanes, floods, droughts, and heatwaves. Belize River Fish Kill: Officials say the cause of the massive Belize River Valley fish kill is still under investigation, with early focus on hypoxia and growing scrutiny of farm runoff; environmental groups mapped canals feeding the river from sugar cane and rice areas. Freshwater Protection: Government and The Nature Conservancy signed an MOU to boost watershed planning, monitoring, and public engagement to protect freshwater and aquatic ecosystems. Wildlife Safety: The Forest Department urged the public to stop feeding crocodiles after dangerous close encounters, warning that human food links can change crocodile behavior. Climate-Smart Farming: Farmers in the Belize River Valley received training in climate-smart corn and peanut production to improve soil, manage pests, and diversify income. Tourism & Sustainability: The Belize Tourism Board opened nominations for the 2026 National Tourism Awards, including a Sustainable Tourism Champion category. Waste Education: Waste Warriors Camp in Belmopan taught children waste sorting, composting, recycling, and conservation. Weather Update: Sunshine returns with mainly fair conditions, but showers and thunderstorms are expected to build back later in the week.
