The summer of 2023 was the hottest on record and brought with it one of the most extensive global coral bleaching events. CCMI’s 2024 report revealed the greatest reduction in coral around Little Cayman since monitoring began in 1998. Cover was as low as 9.8%, down from 26% before the 2023 marine heatwave. As the Cayman Islands marks another Earth Day with its terrestrial and marine environment still under significant strain from ongoing threats, CCMI scientists said they had documented some early improvement in coral cover, from 9.8% to 13.4%. Although not...

Il existe un mouvement encore à l’état embryonnaire né de diverses réflexions sur la réalité haïtienne, mais qui progresse lentement vers la voie qui lui est destinée. Il n’a ni chef unique ni  leader ; il se compose plutôt de nombreux éléments exprimant leurs préoccupations sur des  acteurs qui, sans aucun doute, commencent à saisir la nature de la conspiration ou du piège dans lequel le pays s’enfonce sous l’influence résolument politique de l’impérialisme américain. À bien y réfléchir, cela constitue en soi un pas considérable. C’est déjà une immense réussite d’être témoin de la mobilisation pacifique de tant de jeunes sur les réseaux sociaux. Cela témoigne également l’émergence d’une nouvelle mentalité de la lutte du peuple haïtien. L’objectif est de lancer un vaste mouvement contre l’interdiction imposée depuis le mois de novembre 2024 par la Fédéral Aviation Administration (FAA) des États-Unis interdisant aux compagnies aériennes américaines d’opérer dans l’espace...

Overview: A New York Senate committee has advanced a bill that would expand language access protections to Creole speakers and voters of Middle Eastern and North African descent under the state’s Voting Rights Act. A New York Senate committee has advanced legislation that would expand language access protections for Creole speakers and other communities under state voting rights law. The Senate Elections Committee approved the bill, sponsored by Sen. Zellnor Myrie, on April 21. The measure would add Creole speakers and New Yorkers of Middle Eastern and North African descent as protected groups under the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New York. The law allows designated groups to challenge voter suppression or dilution in court and requires jurisdictions to provide language assistance in certain cases. In a press release, Myrie said expanding language access is key to ensuring equal participation in elections. “Voting is a fundamental right in...

La conducta de los usuarios en el escenario digital, es un tema ya traído al espacio del comentario desde aristas diversas. Aquí expresamos cuánto nos preocupa lo que creemos, difundimos, multiplicamos o viralizamos, y polemizamos sobre la responsabilidad ante la publicación de fotos y videos en la web, si atañen a terceros. Hemos hablado también de noticias falsas, de discernir entre lo real y lo adulterado, de la ética, la empatía, el pudor ante lo lamentable y lo trágico que tanto duelen. Pero una nueva o no tan reciente tendencia vuelve a preocupar. Los odios y linchamientos públicos por motivos banales o sesgados por fanatismos, dejaron de ser moda y ya constituyen prácticas permanentes en redes sociales. Muchas veces el acoso pasa al plano físico de la vida y la injusticia crece de manera exponencial, cuando carecen de verdad y humanidad los argumentos de los odiadores. En los últimos tiempos...

Caribbean governments, businesses, farmers and other stakeholders are being urged to prepare themselves for potentially severe climate extremes as a developing El Niño is expected to bring hotter and drier conditions across the region in 2026 and 2027. El Niño is a climate pattern characterised by the warming of ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, occurring every two to seven years. It represents the “warm phase” of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation cycle, causing weakened easterly trade winds that allow warm water to shift eastward, disrupting global weather patterns and causing significant environmental impacts. Warning Climatologist at the Barbados-based Caribbean Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH), Dr Cedric Van Meerbeeck, is warning that this El Niño event is likely to bring periods of reduced rainfall and increased humid heat, which can affect water availability and agriculture, and increase the likelihood of heat stress and dry conditions....

Son los alcaldes -dijo- los que todos los días presentan recursos ante los tribunales, porque hay gente que construye fuera de normas o crean un daño a un vecino, por lo cual los municipios tienen que recurrir a un tribunal a pedir auxilio ante alguien que está causando daño a un tercero por una construcción ilegal. En los proyectos los Municipios ya no tiene voz para nada pero, van a tener la responsabilidad política de una cosa que no controlan. Tanto la Asociación de Alcaldes que agrupa a los alcaldes del Partido Popular Democrático (PPD), como la Federación de...
