AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoHeat & Medicines Watch: A French medicines-safety roundup flags drugs that can make heat waves more dangerous by disrupting sweating, blood flow, or other cooling steps. It urges extra monitoring for infants, older adults, people with chronic illness or disabilities, those with cognitive issues or social isolation, and anyone in harsh heat-exposure work or housing. Medication classes to watch: diuretics, laxatives, antihypertensives (ACE inhibitors and sartans), and psychotropic drugs. Marine Health Alert (Saint Martin): Rangers responding to Orient Bay Beach found two stranded dolphins on July 1: one dead adult and one live juvenile (Stenella coeruleoalba, uncommon locally). The area was secured to reduce disease risk to humans. The adult carcass was handled by local services, while the juvenile was cared for and released offshore. Authorities ask the public to report stranded marine mammals and avoid direct contact. EU Biodiversity Funding for Overseas Regions: At the European Parliament, policymakers and conservation groups pushed for long-term EU financing for biodiversity action in overseas regions, arguing it must be built into future funding frameworks.
