Caribbean leader blasts 'empty' climate promises at small islands summit.

Antigua and Barbuda prime minister Gaston Browne has hit out at the “empty” and “grossly inadequate” climate pledges, saying wealthy nations have failed to meet obligations to limit damages from carbon emissions, reports Reuters. Speaking at the Summit for Small Island Developing States on Monday, Browne called for more climate financing, a global carbon tax on oil companies, an end to fossil fuel subsidies and a faster transition to renewable energy sources, the newswire says.

              @ann_nyambura_542 I agree it is such a bold and important move... calling out leaders who don't walk their talk is important

                This is a great and bold move!! The stance taken by the Antigua and Barbuda prime minister and other leaders of small island developing states is indeed an admirable and principled one in the fight against climate change.

                    Implementing measures like a global carbon tax and ending fossil fuel subsidies are essential steps towards a sustainable future

                      @princess_nel_268 and the leaders who pledged to meet their climate targets and they are doing contrary to that should be called out as they are dragging others behind
