John Kerry, U.S. special presidential envoy for climate: “Thanks to devastating messages from Mother Nature and dire warnings from every major scientific body, we know we are not currently on track to avoid the worst consequences of the climate crisis.

Reaching our goals requires all of us—as governments, corporations, activists, investors and others—to do more and do it faster, especially in this decisive decade. In the Americas, that work will be supercharged by the U.S.-Caribbean Partnership to Address the Climate Crisis 2030 (PACC 2030). Thanks to President Biden and Vice President Harris and our friends and allies in the Caribbean and across the Americas, our region is all in on this effort. We know that the Caribbean is on the front lines of the climate crisis. That is why the president and the vice president are committed to elevating cooperation with Caribbean nations through PACC 2030 to enhance adaptive capacity and resilience to climate change…”
