Cabinet Notes: The Head of the Environment Division and one of its enthusiastic hard-working legal experts were invited to Cabinet to share greater details about the SIRF Fund (Sustainable Island Resource Framework).
This United Nations’ resource facility—financed by the Green Climate Fund and the Global Environment Facility—provide loans to strengthen environmental, climate mitigation and adaptation projects.
It makes loans available from its US$2,000,000 allocation to homeowners in two specific geographic areas:
- Cashew Hill, Yorks and McKinnons; and, to three groups of public servants.
- Teachers, nurses, police and fire officers, NODS employees—all first responders.
The SIRF Fund is transparent, permitting only the administrator, and not the Board, to know the names of those who make applications for loans. The Board is chaired by the Financial Secretary.
The youthful legal expert accompanying the Chief Environmental Officer will be posted to the Antigua and Barbuda United Nations Mission for the year 2021, when the Ambassador to the UN from Antigua and Barbuda will become the Chairman of the AOSIS (Alliance Of Small Island States) at the UN.
This AOSIS has been essential in pressing the UN to address the Climate Change phenomenon since 1989.
