Chair of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and Prime Minister of Grenada, Hon. Dickon Mitchell, called for the closing of the "significant" financing gap Small Island Developing States face in mitigating and adapting to the climate crisis.
He issued the call on Wednesday, 13 November, in his address at the Leaders’ Summit of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) on Climate Change at the Twenty-Ninth Meeting of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 29) in Baku, Azerbaijan.
