REGION: Eastern Caribbean states in search of solutions
The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) is feeling even more vulnerable than usual in the face of multiple challenges ranging from US tariffs to rising sea levels. When OECS trade ministers met in Grenada from 14-15 May, the director general of the OECS Commission, Didacus Jules, warned of a “polycrisis…of economic, environmental, technological, and geopolitical disruptions, each amplifying the other [and] leaving small island states like ours with vanishing margins for manoeuvre”. He added: “This moment demands more than analysis; it demands strategic clarity. It demands political courage and, above all, it demands action, not in silos, not in speeches, but in coordinated regional response and resolve.”
