LONDON, June 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week, leaders
from seven of the world's wealthiest countries gathered in
Cornwall, UK, for the 2021 G7
Summit. The heads of state from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan,
the UK, the US, and representatives of the EU met to discuss
global challenges – including a response to the COVID-19
pandemic and climate change. The leaders reaffirmed their
goal to limit global heating to 1.5C and to protect and restore 30
percent of the natural world by the end of this decade. However,
experts say that the summit failed to provide developing nations
with the funds needed to cut greenhouse gas emissions and cope with
the impacts of global warming.
The Caribbean is one of many
regions globally that has seen the devastating impact of climate
change. When category 5 Hurricane Maria struck
Dominica, an island of only
72,000, in September 2017, more than
90 percent of the island's structures were destroyed. However, in
the face of catastrophe, the country's Prime Minister, Dr the
Honourable Roosevelt Skerrit, declared that the small country would
commit to becoming the world's first climate-resilient nation by
building back better and stronger.
Honourable Cozier Frederick, Dominica's Minister of Environment, Rural
Modernisation and Kalinago Upliftment, told CS Global Partners that
"Small countries like Dominica
have done little to hyperbolise the climate crisis. Instead, we in
Dominica are on our way to climate
resilience because we have no other choice, we are left fending for
ourselves. Global leaders need to live up to their climate
commitments, otherwise, climate catastrophe will worsen for us
all."
Today, with the help of the Citizenship by Investment (CBI)
Programme, Dominica is constructing over 5,000 weather-proof
homes for its citizens and investing in rehabilitating its
agriculture and fishing industries. It is also working towards
building a geothermal plant which will reduce the cost of
electricity for consumers and provide electricity to the French
islands of Guadeloupe and
Martinique, which in turn will
encourage foreign exchange.
CBI programmes legally grant citizenship status
to applicants who invest in a host country's economy
and do so much faster than traditional immigration
processes. Dominica's CBI
programme provides applicants with a swift processing time,
thorough due diligence and affordable investment options channelled
into health, education and employment initiatives on the island.
With second citizenship from Dominica, individuals and their families can
quickly formulate a Plan B and obtain global mobility without
physically relocating, going through extensive interviews or
waiting years as commonly associated with the traditional
immigration process.
