Chlordecone Accountability: France’s Parliament has unanimously adopted a bill recognizing the State’s “share of responsibility” in the chlordecone scandal affecting Guadeloupe and Martinique, citing decades of pesticide use despite health warnings and noting that more than 90% of adults show traces of it; the government says remediation and cleanup will be assessed by an interministerial mission, while reparations will need a separate legal framework. Regional Environment & Health: An OECS-backed delegation of nine Caribbean States and Territories is visiting Martinique and Guadeloupe (June 1–4) to study sargassum management, including monitoring, collection, risk control, and turning seaweed into value-added products, with support from the EU and OECS. Mosquito-Borne Disease Watch: French health authorities report 92 imported cases of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika in mainland France (May 1–25), all linked to travel abroad, as the tiger mosquito is active and established across many departments. Colonial Health Context: France also moved forward on symbolic legal reforms tied to its colonial legacy, including steps to repeal the “Code noir” slavery-era edicts—an issue that lawmakers say still shapes how history is taught and understood.
