<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">In
the Caribbean, energy consumers face some of the
highest energy prices globally due to relatively
low generation capacity, a heavy reliance on
expensive and volatile fossil fuel imports and
outdated power systems. So the transition to
clean, reliable energy for all is critical, not
just to address climate change, but for our energy
security and economic growth. </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><BR></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify><SPAN
style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Many Caribbean islands
now see the transition as the key to their own
self determinism. For example, Jamaica is
targeting a switch to 50 percent renewable energy
by 2030. Their astute recent fiscal management has
promoted private investment in the transition,
which is vital to deliver a transition away from
expensive fossil fuel imports, especially
gas). When the cost of the transition is offset
against current opex, the transition becomes
achievable - and a colossal investment
opportunity. For example, 10 Caribbean countries
have set 100 percent as their renewable energy
goal. At the moment, all but one are below 20
percent renewables. Smart investors can play a
defining role in delivering renewable targets,
replicating best practice across numerous
islands.</SPAN></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify><SPAN
style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Track 3 - ‘Land Ocean,
Food & Water’ also resonates strongly. The
Caribbean is made up of big ocean states, so
ensuring that our oceans are healthy and
productive is really core to our economic outlook.
Several Caribbean countries, including Barbados
and the Bahamas, have been actively improving
ocean protection by establishing marine protected
areas and implementing sustainable fishing
practices. These initiatives are vital to
safeguarding marine ecosystems and promoting
long-term conservation, but they are also very
expensive. So we’re looking at innovative finance
mechanisms to protect our oceans and encourage
more countries to commit to protecting 30 percent
of coastal and marine areas by 2030.”</SPAN></P>

style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Hydroponic agriculture
is an ideal solution for the Caribbean, which has
limited arable land and increasingly challenging
environmental conditions. By cultivating crops in
a soil-less, controlled environment, hydroponics
significantly cuts water usage, while minimizing
the need for harmful pesticides and herbicides.
This innovative approach holds real promise for
increasing food security, reducing agricultural
runoff, and providing fresh, locally grown produce
year-round. We have rolled out hydroponics
projects in Barbados, Cayman and Anguilla, and
we’re strategizing expansion to more countries.
This is a massive opportunity to get young people
back into agriculture; to shape a new reliable
food production system. With the level of
excitement in this space, the only question is
just how big can this food solution
get?!</SPAN></P>

align=justify>Dr. Mohieldin recently chaired the
High-level Pledging Conference for the second
replenishment of the Green Climate Fund - helping
to secure new capital to catalyse financing for
global climate action.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify>The Bonn conference, hosted by the
Federal Republic of Germany, brought together
government ministers and top climate experts to
drive the Fund’s second replenishment cycle or
GCF-2.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify>Mohieldin announced that GCF-2
initially succeeded in mobilizing USD 9.32
billion, with some countries pledging to make
their contributions over the coming period. This
came during his chairmanship of “The Pledging
Session for Interested Contributors.”</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify>Other attendees included Olaf
Scholz, Chancellor of Germany; Selwin Hart,
Special Adviser to the United Nations
Secretary-General on Climate Action and Just
Transition; Ambassador Wael Ahmed Kamal Aboul-Magd
of the COP 27 Presidency of Egypt; Mafalda Duarte,
Executive Director of Green Climate Fund; Adnan
Amin, Chief Executive Officer of COP28; Simon
Stiell, UNFCCC Executive Secretary; plus other
representatives of governments and countries
contributing to GCF-2.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify>At the event, Mohieldin stressed the
importance of the contributions pledged by
countries to finance climate projects in
developing countries and regions most affected by
climate change, explaining that the GCF will work
on turning these contributions into actual
investment with a tangible effect.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify>Mohieldin stated that climate
finance is inefficient, insufficient, and unfair.
He added that closing the wide finance gap to
tackle the climate emergency demands speed and
affordability of finance through concessional
finance, as well as channelling greater funds to
adaptation projects in the most vulnerable
communities, plus activating de-risking tools.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify>“The replenishment is not a moment
that is solely focused on improving the GCF’s
financial position and hence its capacity of
undertaking projects, but more importantly it is a
moment of revisiting its entire model of
operation, which as it stands involves some areas
of improvement, especially when it comes to the
simplification of the process, speed and
efficiency of access to funds, and local private
sector engagement,” Mohieldin
said.</P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

change are not widely known, yet they deserve our
attention – climate change is by no means gender
neutral,” said Ms. Al Mubarak. “Few people know
that women and girls, comprising 70 percent of the
world’s poor, are disproportionately affected by
climate change. For example, they are 14 times
more likely to die in climate-related natural
disasters. They are also less able to access
relief and assistance once disaster has
struck.”</P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"

power to nurture the world’s growing population,
boost livelihoods and jobs, and help us achieve
our climate and nature goals.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify>But today’s food system is not fit
for purpose. Although we produce an excess of
calories globally, over 700 million people face
hunger and more than three billion people cannot
afford a healthy diet. Scandalously, many of those
who cannot afford nutritious food actually work in
food production.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify>The food system is both a driver of
climate change – responsible for a third of global
greenhouse gas emissions – and is severely
impacted by climate change, with droughts, floods,
extreme heat, changing rainfall patterns, and
locust swarms depleting yields.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify>We need to transform our food system
so that it delivers for people, climate, and
nature. This means changing both how we grow food
and what we produce and consume.”</P>
