Yesterday in Trinidad and Tobago I visited the Asa Wright Center, guardian of approximately 1,500 acres of forested land.

This is a prime example of the country’s commitment to biodiversity and conservation that the @UN is proud to support.

@deodat_maharaj from Caribbean Export Ltd: We focus on micro, small and medium enterprises. Why? Because these groups account for around 60% of total employment in the C'bean, and the same percentage of GDP in this region.

Claire Fitzpatrick of @bp_TandT: We need green and greening investments. Increasingly, investments aren't judged only on returns; investors look at environmental and social lenses as well. So these investments will be rewarded.
