PM Browne to Lead Antigua and Barbuda’s Delegation to COP30 in Brazil
Prime Minister Gaston Browne will head Antigua and Barbuda’s delegation to the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), scheduled for November 5–21, 2025, in Belém, Brazil.
The high-level summit will bring together world leaders, international organizations, and senior government officials to discuss global efforts to combat climate change, strengthen adaptation and mitigation financing, and accelerate the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Prime Minister Browne is expected to continue his vigorous advocacy for climate justice and sustainable financing, championing the needs of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) that face mounting threats from rising sea levels and extreme weather.
He will participate in several Leaders’ and Ministerial Summits, where discussions will focus on renewable energy transitions, carbon market mechanisms, and the establishment of a loss and damage fund to assist vulnerable nations recovering from climate-related disasters.
The Antigua and Barbuda delegation includes Ambassador for Climate Change Ruleta Camacho-Thomas, Director of the Department of Environment Diann Black-Layne, and technical officers from the Ministry of Health, Wellness, Environment, and Civil Service Affairs.
Sir Molwyn Joseph, Minister of Health, Wellness and the Environment, is expected to join later in the conference for the Ministerial Segment, engaging in discussions on environmental health, resilience, and sustainable development.
