action to address the escalating climate crisis \u2014 particularly for Small Island Developing States (SIDS), which continue to face existential threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his remarks, the Prime Minister emphasizes that for nations like Antigua and Barbuda, climate change is not a distant concern but a lived reality. \u201cFor Small Island States, the climate crisis is not past tense or future tense \u2014 it is our lived reality,\u201d Prime Minister Browne asserts.<br>\u201cAntigua and Barbuda comes to Bel\u00e9m with one fundamental message: 1.5\u00b0C is our lifeline.
