Abstract

The article discusses the outcomes of COP29, the United Nations climate conference summit, which fell short of expectations for Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Wealthier countries agreed to contribute US$300bn annually by 2035 for climate change mitigation, but this amount is deemed insufficient by many experts and developing countries. The Caribbean nations, in particular, expressed disappointment with the results and highlighted the challenges they face due to extreme weather events, such as hurricanes. Additionally, the article mentions economic highlights from Guatemala and Panama, including the approval of avocado imports to the US and the passing of Panama's 2025 budget.
