Clive Lewis MP stood up in Parliament asking the Foreign Secretary about Hurricane Beryl.

Today in Parliament I raised the impact of Hurricane Beryl in Grenada and Carriacou as proof that the Caribbean is at the sharp end of the climate crisis.

Ko Barrett, Deputy Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, says “Hurricane Beryl sets a precedent for what we fear is going to be a very, very active, very dangerous hurricane season, which will impact the entire Atlantic basin,”.

Beryl has claimed 33 lives and damaged critical infrastructure across the Caribbean and the Americas.

That’s why I asked the Foreign Secretary if he has any plans to re-introduce a climate finance deal at COP29.

He told me that he has kept in close touch with his Caribbean colleagues, expecting to have further conversations and that he wants to take up the issue of climate finance as we head to COP29.
