CDB at COP 28

Nov 21, 2023

This year, at COP 28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) will be at the forefront of the Caribbean Contingent on the ground highlighting the challenges Climate Change is posing for the Region and advocating for additional resources to alleviate the increasing impact of this crisis.

The concerns CDB will be emphasising at COP 28 include: 

  • The urgent need to increase climate finance available to Caribbean Countries.   
  • The necessity of technical support, training, and capacity building for regional governments to implement effective climate change policies and programmes.  
  • Imperatives for enabling the Caribbean to fairly compete in Green Trade, the emerging global inclination for commerce in sustainable goods and services.     
  • The need to accelerate the Caribbean’s Sustainable Energy Transition to reduce negative climate impacts.  

During the two-week event, held from Thursday, November 30, 2023 to Tuesday, December 12, 2023, members of the CDB delegation will participate in dialogues with partners and stakeholders who can make a significant difference in the thrust to modify the global financial architecture to ensure small developing states, such as CDB’s Borrowing Member Countries, receive the support needed to survive this growing scourge.
