’New money’: UWI researchers to design new islands climate finance framework

Excerpt from barbadostoday.bb

Two University of the West Indies researchers are fronting a bold new funding mechanism to channel concessional climate finance to small developing states, including Barbados, under a One Health climate-resilience framework.

Director of the Centre for Biosecurity Studies at the UWI Cave Hill, Dr Kirk Douglas, is partnering with climate-finance economist at the St Augustine Campus in Trinidad, Dr Preeya Mohan, to design and deliver a climate-finance architecture for concessional funding to support One Health climate resilience for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and SIDS, in the spirit of the Bridgetown Initiative.
