New government called a ‘turning point’ for environmental protection
Environmental campaigners are hailing the election of newly formed National Coalition for Caymanians as a watershed moment for sustainability, signaling promise in how the islands balance development and environmental protection.
Community group, Sustainable Cayman, described the combined manifestos of The Caymanian Community Party and the Cayman Islands National Party, which emphasise “environmental protections, integrated planning, and evidence-based decision-making”, as a “genuine turning point for the environment”.
Shirley Roulstone, head of the Cruise Port Referendum group said, “We certainly are happy and relieved that our new government was formed with very capable individuals … We trust that they will prioritise the real issues that are affecting all Caymanians and residents and tackle them accordingly.”
