Lamothe advocates for
‘Climate-Smart Zones’
in the Caribbean
MIAMI, Sept. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/
— This week at the United
Nations Climate Action Summit,
Former Prime Minister of Haiti, Laurent
Lamothe, stressed the importance
of “Climate-Smart Zones” to
mitigate the impact of natural disasters.
Speaking at the Smart Climate
Day event hosted by the Monaco
Better World Forum (MBWF),
Mr Lamothe spoke about how climate
change multiplies the power
of cyclones and hurricanes. Island
states and territories in the Caribbean
are extremely vulnerable to
extreme weather conditions.
“Haiti is a poster-child for natural
disasters and I have experienced firsthand
the devastation. Every year the
Caribbean braces itself for hurricane
season. As a region we need mitigation
strategies that better prepare
our countries for natural disasters.
Large shares of the region’s population
live in high-risk areas with weak
infrastructure. Economies rely heavily
on sectors sensitive to weather,
such as tourism and agriculture,
while capacity and resources to manage
risk are limited.”
It is for this reason that politicians
and philanthropists from the Caribbean
established the world’s first
“Climate-Smart Zone” and Accelerator.
The Accelerator has created an
unprecedented coalition including
26 countries and over 40 private
and public sector partners which
will implement climate solutions for
resilience, renewable energy, development
of sustainable cities, oceans
and transportation. This climatesmart
zone will not only protect the
region but create jobs and a new
economy in climate-smart infrastructure.

The Caribbean Climate-Smart
Accelerator was formed in 2017 to
strengthen the region’s readiness
and response to disasters. Its objective
is to help transform the Caribbean
economy through fast-tracking
sound public and private investment
opportunities that support climate
action. Building more resilient countries,
cities, and industries through
partnerships across the public and
private sectors, with the goal of creating
the world’s first climate-smart
zone.
