Dear Editor,
One of the highlights of what we could call the 2024 United Nations high level General Assembly season was the launch of the third iteration of the Bridgetown Initiative – “Bridgetown 3.0” The Bridgetown Initiative is that compendium of interlocking ideas and demands that are geared towards reorienting the international economic and financial system towards providing more support and a fairer deal for developing countries; making available more financial resources to help developing countries adapt to the climate crisis; helping developing countries to make their economies more resilient and to “shock proof” them from the effects of natural disasters; and providing the resources that developing countries need to achieve the UN’s “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs).
The article The Bridgetown Initiative ‘3.0’ is geared at realizing a fairer deal to help developing countries adapt to climate crisis appeared first on Stabroek News.
