Call for CARICOM states to tackle climate change prevent total annihilation of their economies
Basseterre, St. Kitts, January 8, 2018 – CARICOM states must tackle climate change with courage and realism to prevent total annihilation of their economies.
Jamaica’s opposition Peoples National Party (PNP) parliamentarian Hon. Lisa Hanna addressing over 600 patrons at the 18th annual New Year’s Gala hosted by former Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas said climate change “is real and potentially destructive and a destructive issue for all who call the Caribbean home.”
“Climate change has serious implications for small island developing states in CARICOM and must be tackled with courage and realism. All of us could face a total annihilation of our economies if we do not tackle this fight,” she said.
