Higher Ground Initiative (HGI) Steering Committee meets with HoD’s and Chairs of SOE’s

It was the first time that the HGI Select Committee invited other HoD’s and Chairs of SOEs to an HGI meeting.

HGI was launched in 2019 to accelerate the rehabilitation of mined out land in preparation for habitation. HGI takes on greater urgency due to the impacts of climate change, most notably sea level rise, which could threaten many low-lying coastal areas of the island over the next several decades.
