Prime Minister Gaston Browne has warned that the world is \u201ctethering on the edge of implosion\u201d as multiple crises intensify global instability.<\/p>

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

Speaking at the Medays 2025 Forum in Morocco, he said nations were facing one of the most volatile periods in modern history, driven by geopolitical tensions, climate shocks, food insecurity, digital disruption, mounting debt and the lasting effects of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese pressures are not academic for small states,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are daily constraints on our ability to plan, to invest, and to protect our people.\u201d<\/p>

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

Browne called for urgent international cooperation, arguing that no nation can withstand cycles of instability alone.<\/p>

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

He also highlighted what he described as \u201chistoric legal victories\u201d for vulnerable states. He pointed to Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s leadership in the Commission of Small Island States on Climate Change and International Law (COSIS), which recently secured an advisory opinion confirming that countries causing marine harm through greenhouse gas emissions are violating international obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese opinions strengthen the legal rights of all states whose people and economies are threatened by climate damage,\u201d he said.<\/p>

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

Browne warned that failure to curb emissions would \u201cimperil human civilization,\u201d accusing wealthy nations of profiting from fossil fuels while developing states bear the burden. He urged major emitters to take decisive action to keep the 1.5\u00b0C warming limit within reach.<\/p>\n
