Plastic Sustainability: Dominica Contributes Least to Climate Change via Green Ethos - CS Global Partners

The acting High Commissioner of Dominica to the UK, Janet Charles, attended the event and explained during an interview for Truly Belong magazine why Dominica was able to implement green initiatives faster than the vast majority of the world. As regards the comprehensive plastic ban that came into force on January 1st this year in Dominica, she noted that the government and the population did not encounter any difficulties. "There were public awareness programmes and training (…) and the government did a fantastic job of taking the steps to enforce the ban," she clarifies. "In Dominica, we have been recycling since I remember myself (…) It is for our future." Quoting the eminent pledge made by Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit for Dominica to become "the world's first climate resilient nation", Mrs Charles concluded that Dominica contributes among the least to climate change, despite it being "at the frontline and [feeling] the effects of climate change" first-hand.

Besides the plastic ban, Dominica is hailed for its thriving ecotourism industry; building new, hurricane-proof public housing; and working towards providing its entire population with clean energy by investing in a geothermal plant. All of these green initiatives are sponsored either partly or fully by the country's Citizenship by Investment Programme, considered the most reputable in the world, according to Financial Times experts. Dominica carefully selects foreign investors it wishes to join them as economic citizens, who then make a financial contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund or an investment in pre-approved real estate that supports the tourist sector. The latter includes eco-luxury villas and environmentally conscious hotels such as Secret Bay, Jungle Bay, Marriot's Anichi Resort, Kempinski's Cabrits Resort, Hilton's Tranquility Beach and others.
