Caribbean Negotiators Determined to Succeed in Paris

The Secretary General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Ambassador Irwin LaRocque told Caribbean News Service (CNS) on the sidelines of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21), that the region wants to ensure that the Paris agreement has enshrined in it, a provision for review every five years.

“There ought to be transparency in terms of the commitments that countries make to this and I would hope that the commitments that the developed countries have made to provide financing are commitments that they will honour and I dare add that such commitments to provide financing should not be tied up in all the bureaucratic maneuverings to access these financing,” LaRocque said.
