St. Kitts and Nevis loses when attendance at meetings is not at the appropriate level
BONN, Germany, November 21, 2017 – While several Caribbean nations were represented at the recent United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP23) by delegations led by a prime minister or minister, St. Kitts and Nevis was represented by a lower level delegation.
The 2017 UN Climate Conference took place in Bonn, Germany, from 6-18 November. Leaders of national governments, cities, states, business, investors, NGOs and civil society gathered to speed up climate action to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Change Agreement. The COP is organized by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
“The ideal would be for the minister with responsibility for climate change to attend international relations,” said a person knowledgeable in international relations.
