The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat is the Caribbean Hub of the Programme for Capacity Building Related to Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) in African, Caribbean and Pacific Countries, known as the ACP-MEAs Programme.
A workshop geared at training environmentalists on how to implement Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) began on Tuesday at the CARICOM Secretariat. The workshop is funded by the European Union and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
I have the honour of speaking on behalf of the Secretary-General of the CARIFORUM Member States who because of conflicting obligations could not be here today. I bring you greetings in his name and on behalf of CARIFORUM, which comprises six small island developing and low lying coastal states, each with distinct characteristics, but all being apart of the family we know as the African Caribbean and Pacific Group of States.
