Jamaica contributed 0.03% of global emissions in 2023. Now warming oceans have cost it 30% of its GDP, while big oil keeps cashing billions.

This is climate injustice in action. Time to put people before profit and phase out fossil fuels for good.

We can't bet the future of our medicines on monopolies who prioritise profit over health.

We need an industrial strategy that can break big pharma’s stranglehold. Investment must be redirected away from big pharma profits and toward a new generation of medicines.
