A SPECIAL Meeting of Agricultural Ministers of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) was held virtually on Tuesday, February 16th 2021, under the Chairmanship of the Honourable Samantha Marshall, Minister of Agriculture, Lands, Fisheries and Barbuda Affairs for Antigua and Barbuda.
In the main, the Meeting focused on the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation’s (FAO) COVID-19 Investment Initiative and the strategic ways in which the information will strengthen the OECS’ Food and Agriculture Sector Recovery and Transformation plan.
The health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to threaten the adequate functioning of food supply chains to the region as many countries move to secure their domestic supplies by imposing export restrictions.
JEDDAH: Public understanding of the increasing challenges related to global warming is reassuringly high in the Kingdom, and the government, organizations and civil society continue to play their role in embracing environmental protection measures, a new report reveals.
The study by consultancy firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG) shows that 55 percent of consumers in the Kingdom have reaffirmed their willingness to implement more sustainable acts into their everyday lives, and also that green infrastructure, financial incentives and a wider variety of affordable eco-friendly products and services will help drive progress.
The report, “Are Consumers in the Gulf States Ready to Go Green?,” found that 70 percent of consumers in the Kingdom are largely aware of climate change and how the world is negatively affected by the problem.
