The conference
will bring together private sector experts and participants
from the Caribbean and the UK to consider not only the
threats posed by climate change, but also how a low carbon
emitting, environmentally-friendly location can harness the
new economic opportunities that will arise.
The discussions and outcome of this forum will feed into the
agenda of the next UK/Caribbean Government to Government
Forum due to take place in the United Kingdom in 2008 and as
such, the forum presents an opportunity for the views of the
Caribbean private sector to be taken into account in the
international policy discussions on climate change.
The conference is sponsored by: OBM International, Global
Development & Investment Partners , Eversheds LLP, Caribbean
Airlines, Trinidad Bulk Traders Ltd, West Indian Tobacco
Company and Atkins. For further details about the forum and
the work of the Caribbean-Britain Business Council please
