Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders are to meet in Grenada on Thursday for a two-day meeting on climate change a few weeks before regional countries participate in the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 28) that gets underway in Dubai in late November.
The Grenada government announcing the two-day meeting in St. George’s this week gave no indication as to what issues are likely to dominate the deliberations, but Caribbean leaders, who have so far addressed the ongoing 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, have warned about the success of COP 28, should developed countries fail to live up to prior commitments.
In his address to the UNGA, Grenada’s Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell said the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Synthesis Report (2023) confirmed that global emissions are at their highest levels in human history and only continue to rise.
