Civil society groups across the island are calling for urgent humanitarian aid and climate justice in the wake of Hurricane Melissa. They argue that Melissa is not just a natural disaster but a consequence of climate inaction. Dr. Theresa Rodriguez Moodie, CEO of the @jamentrust, weighed in on the discussion. #SmileJamaica #1MorningShow
Great news! Hope Jamaica will be next!
🚨Highlight from #UNGA: Antigua & Barbuda 🇦🇬are the 39th nation to call for a moratorium on #DeepSeaMining.
Prime Minister Browne: "No one should mortgage the ocean floor to pay short-term bills."
Who will be the 40th to join this global movement and stand up for the ocean?
🚨 JET has received reports of illegal oil discharge in Savanna-la-Mar. Months later, oil remains in drains—posing fire, health & environmental risks. We call on NEPA to act now.

Land clearance near Fort Rocky in the Palisadoes-Port Royal Protected Area—despite clear rules against it. Now that the damage is done, what’s next? Who will be held responsible?
#HappeningNow Fort Rocky. Devastation of a protected area. @Babsy_grange @AndrewHolnessJM @matthewsamuda @JnhtOfficial @nepajamaica
Fort Rocky falls within Conservation Zone B of the P-PRPA. In this Zone the removal or disturbance of sand, dunes, rock, flora, and fauna is explicitly prohibited. Who gave permission for this? @nepajamaica @matthewsamuda @JnhtOfficial @Babsy_grange
Is this how we protect a protected area @nepajamaica @matthewsamuda ?
Dear PM @AndrewHolnessJM, @matthewsamuda @Babsy_grange @nepajamaica @JnhtOfficial there's a tragedy & travesty occuring with mangroves by Fort Rocky, along the Palisadoes protected area & internationally designated a Ramsar site. Being destroyed to put a car park for Fort Rocky
If not bauxite, then what? Jamaica’s future can’t be another extractive industry. It’s time to reimagine a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable economy. #BeyondExtraction jamaica-gleaner.com/article/…
Higher fines for breaches are good, but enforcement is key! Jamaica needs updated, streamlined environmental laws to truly protect its natural resources. #EnvironmentalProtection jamaica-gleaner.com/article/…
Thanks to the dedication of 5,802 volunteers from 109 groups, 69,010 pounds of garbage were removed from 272.31 miles of Jamaican coastline on International Coastal Cleanup Day 2024.
Let's keep up the momentum for 2025! See you on September 20, 2025 for the next ICCD! 🌊

Jamaicans deserve an environmental agency we can trust. The Rio Cobre spill reveals the urgent need for transparency and accountability.
Act now: Call for reforms to safeguard our environment. Contact officials and support initiatives for real change!
#SaveRioCobre
Environmental justice and protection are non-negotiable. NEPA’s mediation in the Rio Cobre spill case weakens accountability and Jamaica’s environmental safeguards.
Act now: Call for transparency and stronger enforcement. Raise your voice and spread awareness!
#SaveRioCobre
From the Dec 2023 oil spill to Nov 2024 mediation, critical moments reveal NEPA's failure to hold polluters accountable.
Act now: Email dpp@moj.gov.jm to call for an investigation into NEPA’s actions and stronger environmental enforcement. #SaveRioCobre #EnvironmentalJustice
39 groups and individuals call for justice for the Rio Cobre oil spill! 🌊The GoJ must prioritize accountability and transparency. #EnvironmentalJustice #RioCobre #ProtectOurRivers

When polluters escape accountability, our environment and people pay the price. NEPA must do better for Jamaica.
