The development, and its relationship with climate change, was highlighted at an international forum in Ethiopia. Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Kereeta Whyte, says Barbados and small island developing states or SIDS are being disproportionately impacted even though they have contributed little to the crisis. She says the frequency and severity of these climate-related disasters severely undermine development prospects. Her comments came during the first session of the Preparatory Committee for the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development, in Addis Ababa. Ms. Whyte says an ambitious programme of action is required to guide financing for development over the next decade.

Government is making amendments to the Health Services Bill to address the vexing problem of overgrown lots. Attorney General Dale Marshall says the Act, passed in the 1960s, sets out laws relating to the promotion and preservation of the health of the inhabitants of Barbados. However, Mr. Marshall says the legislation and level of fines are of no relevance today. He told the Lower House Government's approach is to put in place an administrative fine or penalty, rather than hauling a person before the law courts. The State will step in as a last resort.
