AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoTropical Storm Gonzalo: A new Atlantic storm has formed and is expected to bring tropical-storm conditions to the Cabo Verde islands as it tracks north-northwest, with winds around 40 mph strengthening toward 45 mph and gusts up to 55 mph—so local coastal and marine communities should stay alert. Ocean observing funding: Canada, the EU and 29 other partners launched the OceanEye International Alliance to back the Global Ocean Observing System, securing over C$339m (€211m) in pledges, including €92m from the EU and C$82m from Canada—supporting safer navigation, weather forecasting, climate prediction and coastal resilience. Sea-level rise and statehood: At the UN General Assembly, leaders backed a declaration affirming a “presumption in favour of continued statehood” for countries threatened by rising seas, with Cabo Verde’s PM Francisco Carvalho calling it a “message of hope.” Hurricane season science: NOAA-linked satellite monitoring highlights how El Niño is driving a split this year—quiet Atlantic activity while the Pacific stays highly active—underscoring how much forecasters still learn about storm origins. ECOWAS jobs: ECOWAS opened recruitment across specialised agencies, including health, finance, energy and legal affairs, inviting qualified nationals from member states.
