Juggling With Eggs

‘James #Drax, the family’s 17th-century patriarch, was not merely a plantation owner but the founder of a system of control and punishmen.

Arriving in #Barbados in 1627, he was instrumental in shifting the island’s labour force from white indentured servants to enslaved Africans. By the 1640s, he had devised the plantation model that would dominate the #Caribbean for centuries – a vast industrial machine, extracting staggering wealth through calculated cruelty.’

Mia Mottley is the world leader giving me hope right one #Barbados #ClimateChange #Podcast omny.fm/shows/zero/in-barbados

omny.fmIn Barbados, Mia Mottley offers pragmatism and hope from a sinking island - ZeroIn the time since she became Prime Minister of Barbados in 2018, Mia Mottley has become known as a moral force for action on climate change. The Bridgetown Initiative, which she launched at COP26 in 2021, transformed the conversation around climate finance – pushing rich nations to do more to support developing countries struggling with the impact of climate change. But as the US retreats from climate action, her bold vision faces new challenges. At the Sustainable Energy for All Global Forum in Barbados, she tells Akshat Rathi why she remains optimistic, and she spoke about the role of pragmatism in tackling the climate challenge.

“We could not get through the pandemic without the Cuban nurses and the Cuban doctors,” she said.

Trinidad and Tobago’s prime minister, Keith Rowley, warned that US interference in #Caribbean healthcare decisions was unacceptable.
