The Caribbean has a lot at stake as world leaders and technical experts meet for the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26. While the urgency of climate action is dire across the world, the livelihood of the Caribbean region continues to be threatened by global warming. UWI scientists are playing key roles with respect to CARICOM’s preparedness for and participation in COP26. Some have played lead roles as technical experts among a CARICOM team that prepared the key issues and positions that the CARICOM grouping will highlight at the upcoming COP26. Others are playing lead roles in delegations or as negotiators, while others are presenting at COP side events.
