The August 16-20 visit builds upon the two associations Joint Agreement for Partnership signed in 2022. The resolution being debated at the Eastern Caribbean Youth Assembly calls for stronger regional action towards environmental resilience and sustainable development, with particular focus on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) vulnerabilities in the Eastern Caribbean. The resolution specifically praises Antigua and Barbuda for leading the adoption of the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for SIDS (ABAS), described as “a progressive framework aimed at advancing sustainability, resilience, and prosperity in island states”.
