Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley is among world leaders in Azerbaijan, attending the 29th session of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP 29. She was greeted at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport, by Azerbaijani's Cultural Minister Adil Karimli and other officials. The summit officially got underway today with a stark warning from COP 29 President Mukhtar Babayev. COP 29 discussions are on the transition to clean energy, and are likely to be overshadowed by financial considerations. Developing nations are said to need 2.4 trillion dollars annually, for a shift away from fossil fuels and climate change mitigation.

A University of the West Indies Lecturer on Political Science is concerned about the impact of Donald Trump's second term as US president, on Caribbean societies. Dr. George Brathwaite made the point during CBC TV 8's The People's Business Programme last night. He believes Mr. Trump will double down on his isolationist policies, in support of his promise for mass deportations of illegal immigrants. The panellists also examined what they considered to be weaknesses in the Kamala Harris campaign. Dr. Brathwaite suggests the democratic candidate failed to separate herself from the current Joe Biden administration. Meanwhile, Media Personality in Antigua and Barbuda, Daren Matthew-Ward, believes Vice President Harris' messaging may not have been compelling enough for the working class.
