AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoFisheries & Climate Resilience: A new World Bank study warns Comoros’ small-scale fisheries are highly exposed to climate change, with accelerating coastal erosion and damage to mangroves, seagrass beds and coral reefs. It flags coral bleaching and more frequent, intense marine heatwaves as an urgent risk, projecting major declines in maximum catch potential under the highest-emissions scenario, and urges stepped-up investment to boost adaptive capacity for coastal communities. Maritime Security: East African states backing the Djibouti Code of Conduct are pushing for a regional task force to tackle piracy and sea crimes in the Gulf of Aden and Western Indian Ocean, aiming to protect maritime resources and shipping routes. Regional Climate Response: Zimbabwe has launched a nationwide cloud-seeding programme ahead of below-normal rains, deploying aircraft and drones and activating a wider climate-smart response plan—an approach that may interest SADC partners facing similar weather stress.
