AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoClimate Science: October 2026 was the warmest October on record, according to NOAA, NASA and Europe’s Copernicus service—a stark signal for climate-vulnerable Caribbean islands. Community Science: Aruba is among three islands joining TrashBlitz Caribbean, a two-year effort using a mobile app to track plastic waste and guide local action. In Belize, the approach helped cut water-pouch litter at one campus by 85%. AI and Tourism: Curaçao’s tourism board is adapting its digital marketing as travelers turn to AI assistants to plan trips, raising the stakes for Aruba and other destinations competing to be recommended. Student Mobility: A Kingdom scholarship pilot increased Caribbean student exchanges from an average of eight a year to 44, but only 148 of 425 awards went to Caribbean students, despite most of the budget being reserved for them. Aruba’s Education Ministry is also working with Dutch universities of applied sciences to better prepare and support students.
