Antigua and Barbuda has announced an ambitious target to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2040, according to Prime Minister Gaston Browne. Speaking on the *Browne and Browne Show*, the Prime Minister emphasized that this goal is contingent on substantial international financial support to facilitate the transition away from fossil fuels. Browne highlighted the country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement as the foundation of its climate commitments. However, he expressed concerns over the inadequate funding received from large polluting nations, which has hindered progress in green energy investments. ‘The funds are extremely small and they’re not really making a difference. Most of our investments in green energy technologies have come from our own treasury,’ Browne stated. The Prime Minister also underscored the severe impacts of climate change on the twin-island nation, including coastline erosion, drought-induced crop losses, and coral reef destruction. He warned that if high-emitting countries fail to meet their obligations, Antigua and Barbuda may pursue legal action through international legal bodies. The country, alongside Vanuatu, has sought advisory opinions from the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and the International Court of Justice to hold large emitters accountable for environmental protection.
