1:18Now PlayingFollowing the passage of Hurricane Beryl, the Prime Minister, on July 4, reiterated his appeal to the world's biggest carbon emitters to meet their obligations to give vulnerable Small Island Developing States (SIDS) a fighting chance to adapt and defend against intensifying climate hazards.
The Prime Minister maintains SIDS, like Saint Lucia and Grenada, should not be subjected to excessive layers of bureaucracy to access Loss and Damage funding facilities.
Furthermore, multinational lending agencies and international financial institutions should include special disaster clauses in loan agreements with SIDS to trigger pauses in loan payments in the event of a deadly climate hazard like Hurricane Beryl.
The unprecedented and catastrophic devastation caused by Hurricane Beryl is a stark reminder to all Saint Lucians of the looming threat we face year after year during the Atlantic Hurricane season.
