CWEIC was delighted to host a roundtable with the Government of the Bahamas on “The Blue Green Economy and Resilience for Small Island States”.

Lord Marland was honoured to welcome The Rt Hon Philip Davis KC MP, Prime Minister of The Bahamas, The Hon Frederick Mitchell MP, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and The Hon Michael Pintard, Leader of the Opposition, as well as our Strategic Partners and wider Commonwealth community.

Key topics ranged from insurance, de-risking investments, clean shipping, the role of standards, and the green energy transition.
