Calypsonian Darcy "Ras Iley" Small promises an encore performance when fans attend this year's edition of Ras Iley and Friends on Saturday night. He was speaking during a press conference and site visit for the upcoming event, which takes place at the Garfield Sobers Gymnasium. Patrons can expect to be serenaded by a regional cast of calypsonians, with local acts like Grynner, the Mighty Gabby, Red Plastic Bag, Pompey and Mac Fingall. Overseas acts include Crazy, Sugar Aloes, Baron, Gypsy, Super Blue, and Shurwayne Winchester to name a few. CBC is a sponsor of the show. Ras Iley says there is a crisis throughout the region where it appears no one remembers those who created soca. He hosted his first Ras Iley and Friends event last year and says this year's show is to remind those around of the greats within the industry. Ras Iley says the airwaves now sound refreshed with the songs of yesteryear, and memories are relived for those who feel neglected and forgotten. He intends to honour Mac Fingall, Red Plastic Bag, and the Mighty Gabby, similar to the honour bestowed upon the late Trinidadian calypsonian Black Stalin at last year's show.

Barbados fears the region will not meet its energy transition goals if countries are not integrated into the global supply chain. Minister of Energy and Business, Senator Lisa Cummins says calls have been made for the international community to work more closely with small countries like Barbados.

Questions have been raised about how Barbados will be impacted by efforts to decarbonise the shipping industry. The International Maritime Organisation has set a target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping by or around 2050. The considerations include the possibility of introducing a universal price for emissions and whether there should be a phased-in approach for ships to switch to green energy. Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill, Professor Troy Lorde, says the move could have implications for shipping costs and even the country's cruise sector. With plans to introduce a ferry service between Barbados, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago, Professor Lorde says decarbonisation could also impact this venture.
