The AmberNews Regional News section covers Caribbean news today from across the region, including politics, economies, disasters and recovery, sport and culture, with a focus on the stories most relevant to Jamaica and Jamaicans.
CARICOM, the Caribbean Community, is a regional grouping of 15 member states, including Jamaica, that coordinates economic integration, foreign policy and functional cooperation across the Caribbean. AmberNews reports on CARICOM summits, decisions and their impact on Jamaica.
AmberNews covers the wider Caribbean, from Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean to Guyana, The Bahamas, Haiti, Cuba and the Dominican Republic, prioritising developments that affect Jamaica and the regional community.
Caribbean news matters because Jamaica's economy, security, climate resilience and foreign policy are connected to neighbouring countries through trade, travel, CARICOM and shared institutions. Regional decisions on matters such as transport and disaster response can directly shape life in Jamaica.
