This week at the COP 21 meetings in Paris, Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris of St. Kitts and Nevis called for a “legally-binding agreement with ambitious emission reduction targets.” In order to mitigate the current and future impacts of climate change, the St. Kitts delegation seeks that five-year commitment cycles with review.
According to the Prime Minister Harris, a comprehensive agreement is key for St. Kitts and Nevis, a nation that already “has been undergoing many climate related changes; namely sea level rise, extreme weather events, prolonged and severe droughts, and disruption to our reefs, coastlines and agriculture.”
