Gaston Browne’s Call for Climate Justice: Love, Law, and Reparations at the UN
Prime Minister Gaston “Gassy Dread” Browne combines Rastafarian compassion with pragmatic legal solutions: swift reparations, concessional lending matched to climate realities, and international law-guided ocean stewardship.
UNGA Spotlight
A full delegation. E.P. Chet Greene, Minister of Foreign Affairs, supports Prime Minister Browne as he champions climate justice and reparations.
Music: The anthem “Love Is The Way” underpins Browne’s message: compassion, law, and pragmatism. Together with Minister Chet Greene, the theme resonates: equity, not charity; justice, not delay; conserving oceans for livelihoods.
This is not hostility. It is the logic of the law. It is justice. Small states are not asking for charity—we ask for equity, for finance that fits risk.
— Prime Minister Gaston Browne
Three Critical Pillars
1) Financing for Climate Realities
Low rates, long terms, and grace periods designed for climate resilience.
2) Swift Loss & Damage Compensation
Immediate funding based on criteria that reflect actual needs.
3) Economic Value of Ocean Stewardship
Enhance blue carbon initiatives and marine protection to foster growth.
Why It Matters (Right Now)
- Equity, Not Charity: Justice for debts owed due to climate change impacts.
- Actionable Solutions: Implementing carbon levies on major emitters.
- Protecting Our Oceans: Oceans are vital for the sustenance and future of island nations.
