The countries least responsible for creating climate change are often those who are first to feel its effects. Nowhere is this truer than in Barbados.
By 2050, climate impacts could cost the Caribbean $22 billion annually.
Barbados isn’t waiting to be saved. Their flagship Bridgetown Initiative is more than climate finance – it’s a new framework for global leadership. It has seen:
- $700m loss & damage fund for 70 vulnerable nations
- $100bn commitment from the G20 for developing countries
Barbados may be small, but its leadership is reshaping diplomacy, proving that those on the frontlines of climate change must also be at the front of climate solutions.
