Chlordecone Accountability: France’s lower house has unanimously adopted a bill recognizing the State’s “share of responsibility” for the health, moral, environmental and economic harm linked to chlordecone (Kepone) in Guadeloupe and Martinique; the Senate already approved it. Health Impact: From 1972 to 1993, the pesticide was used in banana plantations despite warnings. More than 90% of adults are contaminated, and Anses links exposure to prostate cancer, with other studies pointing to nervous, hormonal and reproductive harm. Reparations & Cleanup: The law sets goals for decontaminating land and water, prioritizes research, and plans support for affected fishermen and farmers, plus a mission to define future compensation. Regional Environment: An OECS delegation is visiting Martinique and Guadeloupe (June 1–4) to study sargassum management strategies and value-added uses, supported by the EU and OECS.
