CHTA Applauds Outcome Of UN’s Conference On Climate Change; Drives Message ’1.5 To Stay Alive’

CHTA is pleased with the results of the recent United Nations Climate Change Conference, which took place last month. Adopted by 195 nations, “The Paris Agreement” will aim to keep a global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius [this century] and drive efforts to limit the temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. In addition to a letter to the Hon. Dr. James Fletcher, Chairman of CARICOM Task Force on Climate Change, where Acting President Karolin Troubetzkoy strongly supported CARICOM’s call for a binding agreement on climate change, Caribbean governments and regional agencies joined together to drive the message “1.5 To Stay Alive.”
