Small islands are making big moves; this episode of the Pulse of the Caribbean News Roundup is packed with proof. We begin our report with an initiative that signals a smarter approach to regional power: CARICOM and the Pacific Islands Forum have signed a new agreement to coordinate advocacy and practical cooperation for small island developing states. Here’s a look at more of our headlines on Episode 4 for September 2026.

  • Barbados' prime minister pushes for an overhaul of the United Nations Security Council.
  • The US Virgin Islands governor calls on the US Trump Administration to establish a federal pathway to restart St. Croix’s oil refinery.
  • The Turks and Caicos Islands are seeking a balance between providing opportunities for local Turks and Caicos Islanders and addressing the needs of international labor, which makes up 40% of the population.
  • Two Caribbean Islands have been included on Expedia’s 2026 Worldwide Island Hot List.
