that's global questions: climate and the caribbean. applause. at the 18th—century george washington house, one of the finest and historic buildings here in the capital of barbados, bridgetown. i'm joined by a local audience, who are going to be putting their questions to my two panellists. let me tell you who's in the hot seat. kirk humphry, you're the minister of maritime affairs and the blue economy for barbados, you also have held senior roles at international development agencies, and you believe that caribbean countries need to come together as one to tackle climate change, so welcome to you. and ashley lashley, you are the founder of a campaign group called hey, which stands for healthy and environmentally—friendly youth, and you work with unicef, the un agency for children and young people. and, ashley, you're 22 years old, but you have been involved in grassroots environment and climate activism since you were 16. so, welcome to you both and to my audience here, and also to you, wherever you're watching or listening to this programme. re

in the caribbean, we have not taken that path.e model is about development of our infrastructures. we want more schools, we want public health infrastructures, we want to have systems to allow development to become endemic within our societies. that is the focus of our reparation. take, for example, what happened in tulsa — a white community goes into a black town... you're talking about back in the 1920s in the united states? yes, burned the town to the ground, hundreds of families lost their cash and their capital. it was a very middle—class, affluent african—american community. they were rising up from slavery, pursuing they were rising up from slavery, pursuing development. lost their capital. that has to be compensated for in the context of cash repayments and compensation. in the caribbean, we are looking at a different circumstance. we have the highest percentage of diabetes hypertension is in the world per capita — the result of these sugar plantations where you consume what you grow. you grow sugar, you consume it. now, w

seven military us bases are here in the caribbean.to wonder whether you are looking further east. we had a question on social media, prime minister, which says "i honestly would like to know why we in barbados are so ingratiated with china. why are we in so deep with china?" so are you swapping one superpower for another? well, once again i regret that the person who asked the question doesn't know our history. in 1977 barbados established relations with the people's republic of china. this is 44 years ago, and therefore to suggest that we are now seeking to ingratiate ourselves with china means that you don't understand where we've come from or what we're doing. any country that lives in this world today, that exists in this world, ought to have relations with every country. and china is clearly a global power and for us not to have a relationship with china, even if we didn't have one 47 years ago, would be foolish. but you've been very complimentary about china. you had a phone conversation with president xijinping recently. you sa

whereas that was very uncommon in the caribbean. so those are the numbers. what is the consequence of all those numbers? well here i would quote. the great historian and activist clr james who said the result of all this was quote? the greatest plan accumulation of wealth the world had ever seen. end quote so these millions of africans shipped on board these vessels across the atlantic come to the new world and create a plantation system, which really is el dorado after all. take the sugar planters, for example. in british society in which in the 18th century there were enormous accumulations and concentrations of wealth the sugar planters from places like jamaica were widely known to be the richest of them all. their carriages were gilded. everything they had suggested opulence long trains of servants and slaves followed them through the streets of london. so this is wealth on a truly extraordinary. level okay. so those are the numbers. we can't rest content with the numbers. as important as they are we have to think about slavery and the slave trade in hum

to the caribbean, almost 5 million people were shipped. almost 5 million. 4.2 million arrived alive. that's almost half. that's almost half the total. it is not an accident that this was the great center of sugar production. the sugar industry drove the slave trade for many many years. it was an especially brutal regime, as you know. the second most important destination was brazil. portuguese, brazil. also the home of a very lucrative plantation system. to brazil, roughly 3.5 were loaded on the ships and 3.2 million arrived. this is about 36% of the total, a little more than a third. so overwhelmingly, the caribbean and brazil are the two most important sites of the slave trade. if you're just keeping track of the numbers as i give them to you, you'll see these two areas account for the overwhelming majority of the slaves shipped to the new world, right? so where does the united states come into this. well, as it turns out, the united states was a rather minor partner in the slave trade. the current estimates are that maybe 370, as many a
