On October 24, 2024, during the 16th Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP16) in Cali, Colombia, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat unveiled the "CARICOM State of Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) Implementation and Achievement Report." This report was done with support from ACP MEAs III, and it evaluates the progress and challenges faced by CARICOM Member States in implementing MEAs related to biodiversity, chemicals, and waste management.

While individual countries have made incremental progress influenced by national circumstances, the report identifies persistent challenges, including limited financial and human resources, which hinder effective implementation. The report aims to foster solutions that integrate cross-sectoral activities, contributing to global efforts for harmonious coexistence with nature. This initiative aligns with the goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF), emphasizing CARICOM's commitment to sustainable development and environmental governance.
