Heads of State and Governments emphasized the need to rethink global governance and create a fairer, more inclusive multilateral system that will “benefit all countries” rather than “increase the power of a few”, as the Summit of the Future concluded its second and final day.
Warning that inaction could lead the planet “to a dark future”, they stressed the need for Security Council reform, greater youth engagement in decision-making and bold actions to address the adverse impacts of climate change.
Member States highlighted these and other global concerns on Sunday, when they unanimously adopted the Pact for the Future, an ambitious commitment to a new start in multilateralism. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP
GASTON BROWNE, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, emphasizing that those who have contributed least to the climate crisis are suffering its worst impacts, said: “Big oil, hear this: your days of exploiting the Global South’s natural resources are numbered.”
In the move to renewable energy, “rich industrialized nations must pay for the loss and damage that have devastated our communities”, he added.

Wealthy countries and their industrial giants must pay their dues and invest in a sustainable, equitable future for all, he stressed, adding that bold new international agreements to end fossil fuel proliferation, innovative financial instruments and advanced technology are urgently needed.
Recalling the recently adopted Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for SIDS, he called on the international community to “be as bold as SIDS and to shift focus, not just to sustaining our damaged ecosystems, but also ensuring equity and fairness providing climate and financial justice to all”.
He further called upon leaders and policymakers to commit to an international financial architecture that bridges gaps, alleviates inequalities and fosters sustainable development.

Gaston has spoken. Big oil is shaking in their boots.
What hiporacy ,when he doing nothing at home about renewable energy and touting the huge profits WIOC rake in yearly.
This guy has taken his hypocrisy to the international level
Will Antiguans be allowed to hear another side of the argument? How accurate is ones conclusion with only half of a story?

Another hypocrite woke,this kind of people talking and talking and more talking (non sense) to maximum levels..what about his expensive megalodom suv?,what about this kind of ill messiah,accept invitations and travel all over in the world (in airplanes and expensive luxury cars).
Mr.bogotes,please,please..is not enough the film you already produce in your clown landscape? for all we,clowns adept?,anyway,that is part of the job for today ill sick people (a.k.a politicians).
On a much lesser scale, for our region, isn’t West Indies Oil considered Big Oil?
Antigua has a beautiful climate that makes cooking outdoors feasible, I just hope you all have adequate firewood for cooking and tallow for candles.
This man is an embarrassment to our country. He never presents any data to corroborate his claims, he just gets up there and grandstands. They say charity begins at home,(more dunceness really) he grandstands in parliament, never answering any questions, and throwing UPP in the midst somewhere, then he takes his act on the road.
Antigua and Barbuda is completely dependent on fossil fuel because he has taken no steps to attempt to use other,cleaner more sustainable energy. The solar farm at the ATO lies in ruins. Between him and Asot Michael, who knows what the hell happened?
What a joke.
