NASSAU, Bahamas– Virgin Islands (VI) Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) is currently in Nassau, The Bahamas for the Regional Meeting of the Heads of Government of the Caribbean.

The meeting, currently being held from August 16-17, 2022 at Baha Mar Resort, is in preparation for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 27) in Egypt in the month of November 2022.

Dr the Hon Wheatley’s attendance at the conference is with the goal of devising a regional position on climate change mitigation while The Bahamas’ Prime Minister the Hon Philip E. Davis said his administration is introducing the conference to get results in the climate change fight. 

He added that The Bahamas, along with the region, has lobbied for years and held meetings for the world to acknowledge our vulnerable position of the region.

Caribbean & unified position on Climate Change 

“This meeting will position the Caribbean region to take control of our fate and present a unified position to the world at COP 27, which will take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt in November,” Prime Minister Davis said.

Premier Wheatley joins other government heads from Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago and Turks and Caicos at The Bahamas meetings.

The Premier will then attend the Agri-Investment Forum and Expo II in Trinidad and Tobago from August 19 to 21, 2022, which is a platform to establish and stimulate conversations among key stakeholders in the agricultural sector in Trinidad and Tobago, and by extension across CARICOM Member States.

    His going to mess up this island. Hurricane season has been quiet, just finding everything strange. It has winter in many places, heat in places so how are we having climate change. Use your head people. America is very cold and the sun is bright ask yourself why is it still cold. Put your brains to work and think about things that you see, stop sucking up the brainwash. They show you ice in water and and you believe it when you see you put ice in water and it melts. I am just amaze absolutely amaze with how people don't think. This puppet knows or he is dumb. The Almighty Creator gave us perfect weather us to survive off of not too cold and not too hot. The elites control the weather with haarp machine,chem trail , explosion under ground causing destruction to innocent people. My God isnt wicked like the one in the Bible these God's playing around in this earth is evil just like the one in the bible who is the one eye God... in God we trust. Look on your dollar bill. This is the scripted bible playing out revelations. All road leads to destruction. The Almighty Creator gave me wisdom,understand, and knowledge to see good for myself and listen clearly to the words and understand everything with asking alot of questions which no asked the information question what is in the covid 19 vaccine. Why is so many young people are dying from stroke,heart attack or no signs just drop dead. I can see what's going on but people stay dumb and sick while thousands healthy people are always getting sick and calling out. Think and stop having technology think for you.

    When I look back at who we had in the past, the failures, the scandals, the schemes, the billions in earnings yet all that expenditure in office space rental, we don't have a proper and appropriate govt building,..They messed this place up big time.. I have to rate this Premier very highly amongst them.. .The BVI will need his kind of leadership and many, many years to recover. Thank God that the British and the COI stepping just in time, we were heading to total collapse...

    Premier, I know climate change is important and that you have to engage internationally but you also need to discuss with other regional leaders the regional transportation issue. It is a big problem.
