KINGSTON, Jamaica — Opposition Spokesperson on Environment and Climate Resilience, Omar Newell, is calling for urgent improvements to Jamaica’s climate resilience systems ahead of the hurricane season.
Speaking during the 2026/2027 Sectoral Debate in Parliament, Newell said Jamaica can no longer rely on outdated infrastructure, slow preparedness measures and fragmented planning in responding to climate threats.
He argued that climate resilience must become a national priority affecting all areas of development, including roads, bridges, housing, drainage, agriculture and emergency response systems.
