Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley has called for the reform of the international financial system and the creation of a $5 trillion Climate Trust to pay for the mitigation of climate change anywhere in the world.
She says this can be done by walking more and driving less, saving water and planting your own vegetables.
Mottley has acknowledged that the scale of disasters is beyond the resources governments have to provide shelter to those who have, for example, lost their homes in floods such as KwaZulu-Natal experienced. She says different solutions are needed in response to disasters. “Hello, Africa! Hello, Global South. It’s time for Global South to lead. Hello! The North and South, it;s time to listen. And hello human family, we only have one planet. We don’t have two. And we have the ability to save it. And we were told how to do it. Yes,” says Machel.
