Minister with responsibility for Climate Change, Pearnel Charles Jr., says the Government is focused on legislation and policies that will create an enabling framework to advance the country’s environmental agenda.
He said that the objective is to address, among other things, the negative impact of human activity on the environment.
Minister Charles said that the Government is committed to putting the necessary safeguards in place to protect Jamaica’s natural environment, which is characterised by a diverse range of ecosystems including wetlands, mangrove forests and inland forests, coral reefs, seagrass beds, ponds and rivers.
