Everything Is at Risk: The Caribbean Faces a New Threat

In this urgent and powerful address, Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley, the current Chair of CARICOM, outlines the major crises threatening the Caribbean region—including climate change, the rising cost of living, mental health struggles among youth, misinformation, and escalating crime rates.

Speaking on behalf of all CARICOM member states, she calls for bold, unified action and immediate regional and international collaboration, especially with key partners like the United States.

From the heart of Bridgetown to Kingston, Jamaica, this message hits home. As Caribbean nations like Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Guyana, and others face increased economic and social pressure, Mottley’s call for regional reform, economic self-sufficiency, and resilience has never been more urgent.

The video also highlights CARICOM's push for governance reforms, regional food security, and a new era of leadership across the Caribbean.

This is a must-watch for Jamaicans at home and abroad.
