Climate change, with its many risks and threats, is a clear and present danger to countries, particularly Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and others from the global South.

At COP27 held on November 6-18, 2022 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, five of the key issues that have implications for SIDS and especially Caribbean countries were considered:

1) Loss and Damage
2) Climate Financing
3) Adaptation -1.5 to Stay Alive
4) Technology Transfer
5) Mitigation

It is essential that sustained, scaled-up actions be taken to halt the warming of the planet and the associated impacts. There is much at stake for Caribbean SIDS and others from the developing world, as developed countries make the slow march to reducing emissions and making available the promised new and additional financing to support adaptation and mitigation.
