‘COP 29 must deliver’ – CARICOM Secretary-General

COP29 must deliver a climate finance goal that is credible and consequential for achieving the 1.5℃ goal, Dr. Carla Barnett, CARICOM Secretary-General, said on Wednesday.

The Secretary-General made the call at a Leaders’ Summit of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) on Climate Change at the COP29 (Twenty-Ninth Meeting of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Pointing out that SIDS need “real finance”, the Secretary-General said: “SIDS do not have the luxury of time. We must ensure that we solve the problem of access to resources to address our vulnerabilities. We cannot ease up on our insistence that those countries responsible for the emissions that cause climate change take effective action to reduce their emissions.”
