Haiti - Environment : The Minister of the Environment in Poland for COP24
11/12/2018 08:56:24

Monday, Joseph Jouthe Minister of the Environment left the country to Katowice in Poland, to join the Haitian delegation and participate in the negotiations of the 24th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP24) (December 3 to 14). Minister Joute will participate in this event at several high-level meetings and deliver a speech at the podium.

One of COP24's most important tasks will be to develop and adopt a set of decisions to ensure the full implementation of the Paris Agreement, in line with the decisions adopted in Paris (COP21 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-16066-haiti-cop21-the-fruits-have-finally-found-the-promise-of-flowers-dixit-dominique-pierre.html ) and to Marrakech (COP22 https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-19303-icihaiti-environment-speech-by-desras-at-the-marrakech-summit.html ).

This event brings together many state and non-state actors justifies the international mobilization to achieve the objectives of the Paris agreement, ratified by Haiti in February 2017 https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-20009-icihaiti-environment-the-embassy-of-france-welcomes-the-ratification-of-the-paris-agreement.html ).

The stay in Poland of Minister Jouthe will allow him to present the ambitions of the Administration of President Jovenel Moïse through the Ministry of the Environment in terms of climate change and the progress of the country. Thus, Haiti sets a triple objective in relation to Climate Change:

Promote, at the level of all sectors and other Ministries, resilient, climate-compatible national development or climate-smart development;
Create a coherent framework of responses for country directions and actions to address the impacts of climate change;
Promote education about the environment and climate change as real strategic levers to promote the emergence of environmental and climatic citizenship.
