I have the distinct honor to declare open this special meeting of the Permanent Council.

This meeting is convened in accordance with Article 14 of the Statutes [of the Permanent Council] and Article 37 of the Rules of Procedure, at the request of the Permanent Mission of Antigua and Barbuda, on behalf of the fourteen member states comprising the Caribbean Community, to address the impact of Hurricane Beryl and to discuss strengthening climate resilience in the Americas.

Before we begin our formal proceedings, I would like to take a moment to reflectively acknowledge the devastating force of Hurricane Beryl and its catastrophic impact on communities in

the impact of Hurricane Beryl and to discuss strengthening climate resilience in the Americas.

Before we begin our formal proceedings, I would like to take a moment to reflectively acknowledge the devastating force of Hurricane Beryl and its catastrophic impact on communities in the Caribbean, particularly in the sister nations of Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and [also] in continental America: the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and the state of Texas in the United States. The images of destruction, the flooding, are heart -wrenching. And our hearts go out to the families who have lost loved ones, who have lost homes and livelihoods in this catastrophe.

Please allow me, my friends, again, to reflectively show some brief images of the devastating force [with which] Hurricane Beryl struck these territories. The visuals serve as a stark reminder of the immense power unleashed by this natural colossus. The sh attered landscapes and the displaced communities, they once again paint a heart-wrenching, heartbreaking picture of the devastation left in Beryl’s wake.

We know that the resilience of the affected communities is undeniable, but the path to recovery will be long and arduous. As we witness these images, which we will show very briefly, we hope they will serve as a call to action, too. We must come together a s a united front to offer our unwavering support to the affected communities. It is urgent. This includes immediate humanitarian aid, long-term reconstruction efforts, and a renewed commitment to strengthen climate resilience across the Americas.

I would like to request that Secretariat assist us in presenting the clips.

Thank you very much.

Colleagues, Beryl also brought loss of life. And in this moment of mourning, I would like to ask you—all of us here —to join me in a moment of silence to honor the memory of those who lost their lives to the wrath of Hurricane Beryl.

CONSIDERACIÓN DEL PROYECTO DE RESOLUCIÓN “ABORDAR IMPACTO

DEL HURACÁN BERYL Y REFORZAR LA RESILIENCIA FRENTE

AL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO EN LAS AMÉRICAS”

El PRESIDENTE: Esteemed colleagues, we shall now proceed to the second item on the [order of business] and consider the draft resolution entitled “Addressing the Impact of Hurricane Beryl and Strengthening Climate Resilience in the Americas,” as outlined in document CP/doc. 6029/24 rev. 3.

of business] and consider the draft resolution entitled “Addressing the Impact of Hurricane Beryl and Strengthening Climate Resilience in the Americas,” as outlined in document CP/doc. 6029/24 rev. 3. It was presented by the Permanent Mission of Antigua and Barbuda, on behalf of the fourteen member states comprising the Caribbean Community, with the co -sponsorship of the Permanent Missions of Bolivia, Canada, Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru.

Before offering the floor to the distinguished Permanent Representative of Antigua and Barbuda, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude and thanks to him, to his delegation, and to all the distinguished delegations, for their timely solidarity and constructive spirit in reaching a consensus text that serves as a foundation to further strengthening our joint regional efforts towards achieving a comprehensive international response to climate change and its devastating impacts. This [draft] resolution urges immediate action to support recovery efforts, to build resilience, and to address the root causes of climate change.

I am pleased now to cede the floor to the distinguished Permanent Representative of Antigua and Barbuda, Ambassador Sir Ronald Sanders, who will present this draft resolution.

Ambassador Sanders, you have the floor, Sir.- 5El REPRESENTANTE PERMANENTE DE ANTIGUA Y BARBUDA: Thank you very much, Chair.

May I first congratulate you, Chair, on your assumption of the presidency of this Permanent Council. My delegation is conscious that, as you take on the responsibilities of the presidency, your country is suffering from the battering of Hurricane Beryl, wh ich must be causing you personally considerable distress. This gives me and my delegation even greater reason, Chair, to pledge to you our strong support and steadfast cooperation throughout your presidency.

Chair, distinguished members of the Permanent Council, we gather here today in a special [meeting] because the circumstances are special. Right now, families are mourning the untimely and unexpected deaths of their relatives, both in the Caribbean and in T exas. Such is the nature of

Chair, distinguished members of the Permanent Council, we gather here today in a special [meeting] because the circumstances are special. Right now, families are mourning the untimely and unexpected deaths of their relatives, both in the Caribbean and in T exas. Such is the nature of hurricanes; they are cruel in their intensity and brutal in their strength, sparing no one based on nationality, color, religion, or age.

This particular hurricane is a harbinger of a horrible year ahead for the Caribbean and other countries. Hurricane Beryl, a Category 4 –5 hurricane, is the strongest hurricane on record to hit the Caribbean basin so early in the Atlantic hurricane season, a nd the forecast, unfortunately, is for many others behind it, right up until November.

The devastation wrought by such hurricanes is indiscriminate. We remember the harrowing story from 2017, when Hurricane Irma decimated Barbuda, wrenching a baby from its mother’s arms in the dead of night and amid fierce and lethal winds. That baby was fou nd the next day, battered and lifeless, leaving its mother grief-stricken and traumatized.

Today, in the Caribbean islands, ravaged by Hurricane Beryl, countless individuals have lost everything. They have lost their homes. They have lost their jobs. They have lost their livelihoods. Indeed, their entire existence is overturned. In their displacement, people are living in conditions akin to war zones. Children have no schools to attend, and adults face little prospect of finding a job or the means to earn a living.

In the small islands of the Caribbean, unlike larger countries, the impact of a hurricane of Beryl’s magnitude is all-encompassing. Nothing escapes. Everything is affected.

For several days after Hurricane Beryl swept through the Caribbean, two ambassadors — colleagues of ours in this room —endured high anxiety, worrying about close relatives who were unaccounted for, leaving them to fear the worst.

The people of the Caribbean expect their ambassadors to this Organization of American States (OAS) to act swiftly on their behalf. There could be no delay. No delay to rally this esteemed

unaccounted for, leaving them to fear the worst.

The people of the Caribbean expect their ambassadors to this Organization of American States (OAS) to act swiftly on their behalf. There could be no delay. No delay to rally this esteemed Organization and its member states’ governments to voice their support. Their circumstances are both special and dire. They look to us to alleviate their suffering in any way we can, and to restore some level of hope.

The member states of the Caribbean Community and the co -sponsors of this resolution felt compelled to act quickly. We are deeply thankful to all delegations that responded so promptly with refinements to the resolution that strengthened the original presen tation. We equally appreciate those delegations that, as late as 9:00 p.m., sent their suggestions. While time constraints did not permit6consideration of these late submissions, we are immensely grateful for the solidarity and effort displayed by all, and we thank you for the positive message that you are sending to those suffering souls in our countries.

The way in which this [draft] resolution was approached should not be regarded as a precedent for dealing with other resolutions in this [Permanent] Council. This [draft] resolution was driven by the urgency of the circumstances and the absolute moral imperative to act.

This [draft] resolution before us may not be perfect, and it may not satisfy everyone wholly, but I hope we can all agree that we must not sacrifice the good for the perfect. Our aim with this [draft] resolution is to do good, to do good for those suffering from the impact of Hurricane Beryl, and to demonstrate that this OAS cares about their plight and can be depended on to act in their interest.

Chair, I will now read the [draft] resolution entitled “Addressing the Impact of Hurricane Beryl and Strengthening Climate Resilience in the Americas” for the record. [Lee:]

THE PERMANENT COUNCIL OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN

STATES,

RECALLING the Charter of the Organization of American States (OAS), which affirms, inter alia, the commitment of member states to promote and consolidate the principles of solidarity and cooperation;

DEEPLY CONCERNED by the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Beryl, which emerged in June 2024 as a Category 4 –5 hurricane—the strongest hurricane on record to hit the Caribbean basin so early in the Atlantic hurricane season—causing substantial devastation in the Caribbean, particularly in Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and also affecting the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and the state of Texas in the United States of America;

ALARMED by the unprecedented high temperatures, including those of the sea, related to the link between increasing global temperatures and the frequency and intensity of hurricanes, which now threaten the Caribbean, Central America, and other vulnerable regions for at least six months of every year, causing severe damage in developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse [effects] of climate change;

UNDERSCORING that the disastrous effects of climate change pose a threat to all nations, and emphasizing the importance of urgent and full international cooperation to address its causes comprehensively;

AWARE that previous hurricanes have irreparably damaged many small and mediumsized businesses in OAS member states, leading to increased insurance premiums, rising unemployment, and higher poverty levels, and that these conditions will be exacerbated by the impact of Hurricane Beryl on the affected states, thereby reducing government revenues while simultaneously increasing expenditures for the care of vulnerable communities;

ACKNOWLEDGING the particular vulnerability of Haiti and AWARE that Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Central American states are repeatedly7among the greatest victims of natural phenomena exacerbated by climate change, despite being among the least contributors to the problem;

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT Advisory Opinion No. 31 of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea on Climate Change and International Law, requested by the Commission of Small Island States, which, based on scientific consensus, warns that human -induced increases in the temperature of the planet, including its oceans, have a direct impact on the occurrence of more extreme and recurrent natural disasters;

RECOGNIZING the unique vulnerabilities of SIDS, including their limited resources to cope with and adapt to the adverse effects of climate change;

SADDENED by the loss of life and livelihoods and displacement of people in all the affected countries, as well as the extensive damage to infrastructure and ecosystems in the Caribbean, resulting from Hurricane Beryl, which highlights the urgent necessity of addressing
