PM Davis Demands Action on Climate Change

KIGALI, RWANDA – A challenge to Commonwealth leaders to use their collective traditions and shared values to do something about climate change.

Prime Minister Philip Davis challenging a forum at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) today, to help countries affected by these catastrophic events by paying their fair share.

Our Jerome Sawyer has the highlights.

Prime Minister Davis a featured speaker at CHOGM’s business forum Wednesday, sharing the realities of small island states.

The day before, he promised to ask those responsible to pay, but there are real obstacles.
The Commonwealth Blue Charter calls for solving “ocean-related problems”, with the United Nation’s Sustainable Goals to preserve the oceans.

But with conservation funding at .01 percent, green climate funding at less than two percent, and no buy-in to fund the blue economy, that Blue Charter is going nowhere.
