00:00During her address at the ATS-Yunga general debate, Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Amor Motley

00:06emphasized the importance of upholding the sovereignty of all Caribbean nations amid

00:10U.S. interference. Our correspondent Krista Hoyt with the report.

00:15Amid rising tensions between Venezuela and the United States and an increased military

00:20presence in regional waters, Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Amor Motley has declared that

00:26the Caribbean must not become collateral damage. Speaking during the general debate of the 80th

00:32session of the United Nations General Assembly, Prime Minister Motley emphasized the importance

00:38of upholding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all Caribbean nations. She calls

00:43on the international community to fully respect the region's borders and to ensure that the Caribbean

00:49remains a zone of peace.

00:51There has been a buildup in military assets in the last few weeks in the Caribbean by both

00:58sides, by the United States of America and by Venezuela. We believe that any such buildup

01:08could occasion just an accident. And if it does, a simple accident can put the Southern

01:17Caribbean at disproportionate risk. I need not tell you therefore what a war can do. Let us make a

01:28greater effort to have the necessary conversations to prevent war. It is too simple.

01:37The climate crisis advocate expressed strong concern over the global backslide on climate commitments

01:43whilst providing possible solutions for the way forward.

01:46Focus on emissions rather than focusing on the fossil fuel industry. As I have said before,

01:53the fossil fuel industry is not the enemy. It is the emissions. In this regard, we should consider

01:59working towards a globally legal binding framework on methane, which could contribute to reversing global

02:08global temperatures, I'm told by the scientists by as much as half a degree while purchasing time for the fossil

02:16fuel industry to scale up to a commercial level, the use of decarbonizing technology. This is possible.

02:24The Baku to Belém roadmap must also ensure that the necessary resources, $1.3 trillion annually by 2035,

02:33are not only committed, but delivered. The Prime Minister says it is the political will and the

02:39ingenuity of countries and financial institutions that will ensure the money can be delivered.

02:46For Sohoit, Talasir, Barbados.
