.<\/strong>The Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, the Hon. Gaston Browne, the Vice-Chancellor of The University of the West Indies, Professor Sir Hilary Beckles and the Chair of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, Professor Sir Ed Byrne have today signed a Memorandum of Understanding to formalise their collaboration in support of a Centre for Excellence for Oceanography and the Blue Economy at The University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Centre will aim to\u00a0advance intellectual progress and strengthen institutional capacity in the areas of marine science and the blue economy while benefitting from the societal, economic and environmental opportunities for the Caribbean within this emerging sector.<\/p>\n

Antigua and Barbuda, as well as the Caribbean region, stand to benefit from an emerging industry worth USD$2.5 trillion globally through the sustainable diversification of the economy into areas such as aquaculture, marine renewable energy, biotechnology and sea vegetable farming.\u00a0As a \u2018large ocean state\u2019, Antigua and Barbuda has been active in key blue economy initiatives, including co-championing the Commonwealth Blue Charter\u2019s\u00a0Sustainable Blue Economy Action Group<\/a>,\u00a0which\u00a0encourages better stewardship of \u2018blue resources\u2019.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Honourable Gaston Browne, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda said:\u00a0\u201cThe UWI Five Islands Campus is an investment in the youth of Antigua and Barbuda and the Eastern Caribbean. My Government\u2019s support for this Centre of Excellence for Oceanography and the Blue Economy is predicated on our vision to provide easier access to quality training and new knowledge at a tertiary level for our people. Its realisation will require our collective ingenuity and commitment to identify and secure the necessary resources to advance this important ambition. I therefore invite all present today to partner with us in a tangible and efficacious manner to establish this Centre in short order\u201d.<\/em><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This vision builds on The University of\u00a0the West of Indies\u2019 wider reputation as a leading institution\u00a0leading climate action<\/a>. The\u00a0UWI\u2019s advocacy on the SDGs and the 2030 development agenda have received global acknowledgement.<\/p>\n

Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, Vice-Chancellor of The University of the West Indies said:\u00a0\u201cWe are an activist university, tackling all of the big challenges facing our region, and committed to serving the development needs of our people. Expectedly therefore, The UWI has been at the forefront of teaching, research and advocacy on sustainable development and climate action in the Caribbean for many decades. Our years of significant contributions have earned us recognition as the global leader in the mobilisation of research and advocacy for a climate smart world. It is a designation we have proudly accepted with a deep sense of commitment. In furtherance of that commitment, we embrace this opportunity to mobilise our expertise as we work alongside our governments and partners in this area of critical importance to the sustainability and competitiveness of the Caribbean.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

As the oldest university network in the world, dedicated to making the world a better place through cooperation in higher education, the Association of Commonwealth Universities is uniquely placed to leverage its international academic networks in support of this vision.<\/p>\n
