During his interactive presentation, Prime Minister Browne is expected to tell leaders that the decisions they all make have the power to shape the course of tomorrow.
The country’s leader is expected to ask leaders to consider the harrowing reality facing Antigua and Barbuda and other SIDS, relentlessly pummeled by increasingly monstrous hurricanes, leaving a train of devastation, once serene landscapes transformed into apocalyptic scenes of destruction, with homes shattered, livelihoods obliterated, and communities left in despair.
He will repeat a call for the urgent need for global unity in combating climate change, as the very existence of Antigua and Barbuda and other SIDS hang precariously in the balance.
During the two days in New York, Prime Minister Browne will also hold bi-lateral meetings and interactions with a number of leaders including Alex Rafalowicz, Executive Director, Fossil Fuel Non-Poliferation Treaty Initiative; President of Rwanda, H. E. Paul Kagame; Hans Vestberg, Chairman and CEO of Verizon and Hugh Jackman, Actor and Global Citizen Ambassador, among others.
