Alva Browne, Permanent Secretary of Grenada’s Ministry of Infrastructure, Public Utilities, Civil Aviation and Transportation, has issued a compelling call for urgent measures to bridge the water security gap in the Caribbean. Speaking at the Regional Water Week 2025 in Chile, Browne emphasized the pressing challenges faced by Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS), including Grenada, due to hydro-climatic extremes. He highlighted the region’s oscillation between severe droughts and devastating floods, as exemplified by Grenada’s 2024 water crisis followed by catastrophic flooding. Browne underscored the necessity of long-term solutions, such as infrastructure upgrades, enhanced water management, and conservation efforts, while acknowledging Grenada’s progress through initiatives like the G-CREWS Project. This initiative focuses on modernizing infrastructure, institutional reforms, and establishing a Water Resource Management Unit. Additionally, Browne praised regional efforts by countries like Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, St. Lucia, and Guyana to integrate water management into climate adaptation and sustainable development strategies. He stressed the importance of moving from planning to action, emphasizing three critical pillars: integration, investment, and inclusion. Browne also commended regional organizations like GWP-Caribbean, CDEMA, CARPHA, and the Caribbean Water and Wastewater Association for fostering knowledge exchange and preparedness. Concluding his address, Browne called for collaborative action, urging the Caribbean to work with Latin American partners, the European Union, and the global community to ensure the next decade is marked by tangible progress rather than continued analysis.
