Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley is among world leaders pledging action on climate finance, by launching a new Coalition for Solidarity Levies. The launch came at the ongoing UN Climate Change Conference of Parties or COP29 in Azerbaijan. The new coalition, comprised of 16 countries, is spearheaded by France, Kenya and Barbados. It aims to secure sustainable funding for climate action, by establishing levies on carbon-intensive industries, based on the polluter pays principle. Ms. Mottley acknowledged progress has been made over the past few years, but however, noted it is not enough. She says levies on shipping, aviation and fossil fuel extraction, could raise a combined 350 billion dollars a year and a 0.1% levy on all stock and bond trades could raise 418 billion a year.

According to a press release, the Commissioners endorsed the importance of protecting Barbadians from cybercrime and recognised the Government of Barbados has been proactive in providing significant opportunities for civil society groups to be consulted and share their views on the bill. Commissioner Gloria de Mees has talked about the importance of hearing voices with concerns about the proposed changes as well as the importance of the consensus about the need for protections from cybercrime that the bill provides. Commissioner de Mees is also joining her counterparts in asking how the Inter-American Commission Human Rights can help Barbados with its dialogue regarding the important public issue. Meanwhile, President Edgar Stuardo Ralon asked the parties to clarify whether the legislative process had ended or whether the Bill could still be amended and it was confirmed that the process had not yet ended. He's also stated the theme of freedom of expression is of significant interest to the Commission and that it will continue to monitor it closely.

Barbados' Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley has called on leaders attending the ongoing United Nations Climate Change Conference or COP29 in Azerbaijan, to commit to new collective goals that will enable states to reverse the current trajectory of climate change. While delivering Barbados' national statements at the World Leaders Climate Action Summit, she warned the planet is hurtling towards catastrophe. The Barbadian leader put forward seven critical elements which she says can assist. They include the proper capitalisation of the Loss and Damage Fund and a dedicated SIDS window in the Global Environment Facility Special Climate Change Fund. Ms. Mottley again made the case for developing countries to have access to cheaper, longer term capital and urgently needed financial reforms. Rich countries were also encouraged to deliver on their commitments. She also reiterated a call for a universal carbon pricing mechanism and a global methane agreement.
