AGP Executive Report
Last update: 26 minutes agoChlordecone Compensation Opens the Door: A new law has officially recognized the French State’s responsibility for the long-running chlordecone contamination in Guadeloupe and Martinique, published in the Official Journal and now in force. It paves the way for talks on compensation for victims, with the government given one year to report to Parliament on extending the existing scheme to people whose illnesses are linked to pesticide exposure. The law also sets priorities: faster cleanup, support for agriculture and fishing, stronger research into related diseases, and better care for those affected. Marine Protection Push: On World Oceans Day, France announced three new marine protection zones, bringing strictly protected waters to 14.68%—with strict limits on fishing, extraction, and some tourism. In Guadeloupe, a zone will protect coral reefs and sea turtles, as France moves toward its 14.8% target.
