Haiti - Environment : Bonn Conference, Haiti sounds the alarm 03/05/2018 09:35:50
The G77 Group and China, as well as the Alliance of Small Island States and Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to which Haiti belongs, took the opportunity to recall, inter alia, the need to have an inclusive dialogue that will enable them not only to give the benefit of urgency to the challenge posed by the issue of climate change, but above all to raise the ambitions for reducing emissions and climate finance, including funding for the adaptation of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. Along with members of the Least Developed Countries group, Haiti has joined its voice to sound the alarm about the need to keep the increase in global temperature below 1.5 degrees Celsius "[...] As LDCs, we are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and we also face the new challenge of developing to sustainably move our people out of poverty by switching to renewable energy rather than using fossil fuels [...] LDCs and other developing countries, we can not adequately protect our communities from the effects of climate change or reduce our emissions without the right tools and resources. There is still a large gap between the support needed and the support received. LDCs call on developed countries to finally deliver on their long-standing promise of mobilizing at least $100 billion a year and to fill the ever-widening financial gap before the distance becomes too big." The delegation of Haiti is composed of Mrs. Nicole Altidor the Director General of the Ministry of the Environment, James Cadet the Head of the Climate Change Department, Dr. Kenel Deluska Technical Advisor, Bernard Remarais Communications Manager and Dr. Jean Bony Alexandre Chargé d'Affaires ai at the Embassy of Haiti in Germany.
