St Maarten to be profiled on an international level at EarthX 2022
Prime Minister and Minister of General Affairs Silveria Jacobs will attend a series of EarthX conferences in Dallas, Texas, to cultivate relationships and form partnerships to advance advocates, investors, accelerators, and researchers on sustainable environmental activities.
EarthX is led by the sustainable development goals (SDGs), including SDG 7 (renewable energy), a national goal of St Maarten. Considering the current challenges with rising energy costs, such projects must be pursued in the public's interest.
This year, Jacobs has been invited to deliver the keynote speech for the Island Resilience Forum on April 22, allowing for St Maarten to be profiled on an international level.
The prime minister will also speak at the Women leadership in the sustainable fashion movement, the Global Youth Summit, the UN family offices for sustainable development, and the UN SDG media summit.
“The Government of St Maarten has been a virtual participant at EarthX since 2019; however, our in-person participation at EarthX allows us to engage and attract investors in public-private partnerships for possible projects needed for the country. As such, I take this time to thank the Department of The Interior and Kingdom Relations and the Department of Foreign Affairs for their efforts in forwarding this agenda for St Maarten and invite the general public to tune into the conferences that will be aired live online," stated Prime Minister Jacobs.
