But, like we said, despite those events, the regional meetings on San Pedro were a diplomatic success.
CARICOM and SICA came out with the Joint Declaration Of San Pedro From The Fourth Summit Of Heads Of State And Government Of The Caribbean Community (Caricom) And Of The Central American Integration System.
The official communique says They reiterated "that climate change remains the greatest threat currently facing humanity...and
Recognise and Confirm the value of cooperation and collaboration between CARICOM and SICA as a positive accelerator on issues of mutual interest such as climate change, COVID-19 pandemic response and recovery, development financing, health, natural disasters, disaster prevention and comprehensive risk management, sustainable development, migration, regional security, poverty eradication and food and nutrition security, amongst others."
They also Agree to strengthen cooperation between CARICOM and SICA on climate change including exchanging best practices on integrating climate resilience into development planning and pursuing joint advocacy for enhancing access to climate finance for adaptation, mitigation and loss and damage responses, keeping global warming below 1.5C, and in preparations for COP27, as appropriate."
