Prime Minister Gaston Browne has launched a scathing critique against the opposition United Progressive Party (UPP), accusing them of failing to address the critical issue of climate change. Speaking on Pointe FM’s *Browne and Browne Show*, Browne highlighted the absence of substantive statements from UPP leader Harold Lovell on the matter, despite his decades-long political career. Browne emphasized that climate change is the most pressing challenge for small island states like Antigua and Barbuda, yet the UPP’s political discourse has been dominated by personal attacks rather than policy discussions. Browne contrasted this with his own Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP), which has prioritized climate action since 2014, including energy transition and reducing the nation’s carbon footprint. He cited research showing Lovell’s lack of documented policy statements on climate change, apart from a vague reference to a “greener Barbuda” in the 2023 manifesto. Browne argued that this silence reflects the UPP’s ignorance and lack of issue-based focus. He urged citizens to recognize the multidimensional consequences of climate change, from intensified hurricanes to rising sea levels, and reaffirmed his government’s commitment to climate advocacy, including international leadership in seeking climate justice and reparations at the United Nations.
