The Caribbean Development Bank has embarked on an important round of stakeholder consultations with representatives from 14 CARICOM member states and key regional institutions supporting the mobilisation of climate finance and the energy and transport sectors.


The consultations are part of the preparatory phase for the proposal to establish the Regional Platform for Catalysing Climate Action in the Caribbean (RP-Caribbean), a historic, first-of-its-kind initiative designed to unlock climate financing and address barriers to climate action at scale across the region.


The proposal will be submitted to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) by the end of September 2025.


This bold initiative was originally announced by the Prime Minister of Barbados, the Honourable Mia Amor Mottley, at the 2025 GCF Regional Dialogue held in Saint Kitts and Nevis. RP-Caribbean will be operationalised through financing from the GCF Readiness Programme with contributions from participating CARICOM Member States
