The upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference in Brazil must deliver a just outcome for small island states in the Caribbean and further abroad, Virgin Islands Special Envoy Benito Wheatley said during a regional meeting held last week in the country’s capital.
At the November conference, known under the Brazilian presidency this year as COP30, the island states plan to continue fighting for climate justice at a time when global attention has shifted away from the climate crisis to tariffs and other conflicts, according to Mr. Wheatley.
The special envoy was speaking at a special two-day meeting of representatives and parliamentarians from across Latin America and the Caribbean.
