Redesign climate change architecture to promote development in developing countries: CARICOM Chairman

May 10, 2015

The region’s challenge associated with the on-going Climate Change negotiations is that even if the goal to limit global warming to 1.5 or 2°C is achieved, the Caribbean will experience severe adverse impacts for which stronger programmes of adaptation would have to be implemented.

We most strongly advance the view that in this current situation the global architecture on Climate Change needs to be redesigned to also facilitate and promote the development of developing countries.
