In New York, Haiti Urges Caribbean Nations to Pool Resources to Finance Resilience

The Haitian government has called on Caribbean countries to unite their capacities and carry greater weight in the pursuit of climate financing, according to Le Nouvelliste. Speaking in New York on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, Haitian officials defended a regional approach designed to transform climate commitments into investments capable of supporting both resilience and economic development. The position was presented during a high-level ministerial meeting organized on the margins of international gatherings, the newspaper reported, where a delegation from Haiti and the Caribbean Community (Caricom) took part. Haiti said it aimed to take advantage of the international mobilization around climate issues to encourage Caribbean states to pool their capabilities and press more effectively for funding. Le Nouvelliste published a group photograph of the Haitian and Caricom delegation accompanying its account. The outlet's report did not detail the specific financing mechanisms proposed or the reactions of other participating states. Further specifics of the ministerial discussions were behind the outlet's paywall and could not be independently confirmed beyond the excerpts published. The appeal comes amid broader regional attention to climate vulnerability affecting small island and Caribbean nations.
