Regional plan being formulated on business’ conduct

Sep 02, 2010 News

Regional Ministers of Environment and other experts are here for a crucial two-day meeting to address climate change and its impact on the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME).
President Bharrat Jagdeo and Prime Minister, Stephenson King, of St. Lucia are expected to address the opening, CARICOM said yesterday. The venue is the International Conference Centre at Pattensen, ECD.
This is the third joint meeting of the region’s Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED) and the Council for Human and Social Development (COHSOD) and it is being co-chaired by Trinidad and Tobago and Grenada.
According to CARICOM, the forum will address issues related to water management, climate change and renewable energy, sustainable land management and sustainable consumption and production in the region.
“However, the meeting will focus primarily on the progress of the community in formulating a regional environmental policy which would provide guidelines for the conduct of businesses at the national level with respect to managing the environment and natural resources,” CARICOM explained.
Additionally, the meeting will discuss progress made for the upcoming United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meeting set for Cancun, Mexico, in December.
CARICOM noted that while last year’s conference in Copenhagen fell below the Caribbean’s expectations in relation to the actions needed to tackle global warming, some gains have been made in the body’s advocacy to secure a target in greenhouse gas emissions that will limit global warming by 1.50c.
The issue of water security will also generate much debate in light of the drought challenges faced by many of its member states, CARICOM disclosed.
