Its impacts can include:
☔ Reduced rainfall
🏞️ Lower reservoir and river levels
💧 Reduced groundwater recharge
🚰 Water supply constraints and rationing
💰 Higher water production costs
⚠️ Increased drought risk
🌎 Less Rain. Less Water. Greater Impact.
🤝 Together, we can build a more water-secure

Executive Director of the Caribbean Water and Wastewater Association (CWWA), Ms. Laurayne Lucky, and Response Lead for the Caribbean Water Utilities Insurance Collective (CWUIC), Ms. Shamila Ragoobir, toured the humanitarian support vessel MV DAWN on Wednesday, June 10, 2026.

The tour was facilitated by Ms. Christa Cook, WASH Specialist with Global Support and Development (GSD), and provided the CWUIC response team with an opportunity to learn more about the vessel’s capabilities and its role in supporting disaster response efforts throughout the Caribbean.

Currently docked in Grenada, the MV DAWN is an 80-metre humanitarian support vessel operated by the non-profit organization Global Support and Development (GSD). The vessel was purpose-built to assist island nations by providing immediate post-disaster relief, including emergency communications support, potable water production and distribution services, and accredited laboratory facilities for water quality testing.

The MV DAWN and its crew played a critical role in post-impact response efforts in Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa in 2025, providing essential support to affected communities and utility operators.

The CWWA, Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), CWUIC, and GSD maintain an ongoing partnership focused on strengthening disaster preparedness, response, and resilience across the Caribbean. The visit to the vessel underscored the importance of collaboration among regional and international partners in enhancing the capacity of Caribbean utilities to respond to emergencies and natural disasters.

Ms. Lucky was in Grenada on an official visit to meet with members of the Local Organizing Committee as preparations continue for the hosting of the 35th Annual CWWA Conference and Exhibition, which will be held in Grenada from October 12-16, 2026 at the beautiful Radisson Grenada Beach Resort.

The Caribbean Water and Wastewater Association (CWWA) Programme Officer Sweeta Beharry, participated in the 2026 Wet Season Caribbean Climate Outlook Forum (CariCOF) and the 14th Early Warning Information Services Across Climate Timescales (EWISACTS) Consortium Meeting, held in Nassau, The Bahamas, from 25–28 May 2026.

The events brought together regional and international partners to strengthen climate services, enhance early warning systems, and advance resilience-building efforts across the Caribbean.

Key discussions focused on:

• Strengthening climate services for the water sector
• Preparing for the 2026 wet and hurricane seasons
• Addressing drought, heat stress, and flood risks
• Enhancing regional collaboration and coordination
• Advancing implementation of the Regional Roadmap and Plan of Action (RPA) 2020–2030

During CariCOF, Ms. Behaary, delivered a presentation during the session, “Towards Resourcing Fit-for-Purpose Weather and Climate Services for a Resilient Caribbean.” The presentation highlighted key climate-related challenges facing the Caribbean water sector and outlined priority weather and climate services required to strengthen resilience, improve preparedness, and support sustainable water resource management throughout the region.

CWWA's participation reinforced the Association’s commitment to supporting climate-informed decision-making and fostering stronger partnerships to enhance the resilience of Caribbean water and wastewater utilities.

Prior to CariCOF, CWWA also participated in Trinidad and Tobago’s 20th National Climate Outlook Forum (NCOF XX) and National Stakeholder Consultation on 20 May 2026, contributing to national and regional discussions on climate preparedness, adaptation, and resilience.
