President Luis Abinader of the Dominican Republic urged stronger cooperation among Ibero‑American countries to improve early‑warning systems and risk management for natural disasters. He made the remarks on Thursday during the XXX Ibero‑American Summit of Heads of State and Government, which was held in Madrid and chaired by King Felipe VI of Spain. Abinader highlighted the particular vulnerability of the Dominican Republic, an island nation in the Caribbean, to the impacts of hurricanes and other atmospheric phenomena. “Because of our status as an island and Caribbean country, we know very well the harsh face of climate change. A single hurricane can erase decades of effort and sacrifice,” he said to the summit’s participants. He called for the development of regional mechanisms that would strengthen prevention and response capacities, emphasizing that resilience cannot be built in isolation. “Solidarity among nations is a fundamental element for confronting climate threats,” Abinader added. He stressed that shared capacities and experiences are essential to protect populations and reduce the effects of natural disasters. Article source: El Nuevo Diario | Image credit: El Nuevo Diario
