    "title": "Forging a Pan-Regional Front: The Case for a Caribbean-African Alliance to Achieve Climate Justice Through Innovative Finance",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p>Climate change is a global crisis that disproportionately impacts vulnerable regions such as the Caribbean and Africa, which contribute minimally to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions yet endure significant climate related damages. This study examines the structural inequalities driving these disparities and advances a climate justice framework centered on reparations through innovative finance mechanisms, including the proposed Global Climate Reparations Fund (GCRF). It highlights the scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change and the severe consequences for affected regions, including rising sea levels, intensified hurricanes, and prolonged droughts. Strategies for mobilizing resources for mitigation, adaptation, and compensation are analyzed through the lens of international legal principles and climate finance policies. The study underscores the importance of equitable distribution of climate finance to address both historical emissions and current vulnerabilities. It further advocates for enhanced international cooperation and the creation of a Caribbean-African Alliance to strengthen advocacy for climate justice, while offering recommendations to reinforce climate finance mechanisms that support sustainable development and long term resilience.</p>\n<p> </p>",
