CARICOM SG calls for fairness in international financing for SIDs

Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretary-General Ambassador Irwin LaRocque has made a call for fairness in international financing for Small Island Developing States (SIDs), noting that they have been experiencing a battering from climate impacts, not of their own making.

“We have had to face the sharp end of climate change impacts in conjunction with our other inherent vulnerabilities.  It is, therefore, crucial that vulnerability be the main criterion in determining access to concessional financing, which we urgently need in our quest for resilience.”
