Commissioner for International Partnerships, Jutta Urpilainen, has announced the EU's intention to support the upgrading of Barbados' climate-resilient infrastructure for clean water, in line with the Global Gateway investment agenda presented at the EU-CELAC Summit in July. This would be achieved through a ‘debt for climate swap' to provide much-needed funding for the upgrade of the Barbados South Coast Sewage Treatment Plant. This would advance the country's efforts to mitigating the impacts of climate change, reducing chronic water shortages and improving wastewater systems. Commissioner Urpilainen and Barbados' Prime Minister Mia Mottley met on Thursday in Paris the framework of the Paris Peace Forum.
