Read previewNASA's James Webb Space Telescope floored astronomers and spectators across the globe when it released its first full-color images. Even those preliminary snapshots revealed countless stars, galaxies, and fine details that hadn't been seen before.

☆ Barbados eyeing 'debt-for-climate' swap early next year, finance minister says

REUTERS/Toby Melville/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsMARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Barbados is hoping to execute a "debt-for-climate" swap early next year to secure savings of around $300 million over a 15 year period to fund clean water supplies, the island state's finance minister told Reuters on Tuesday. In September 2022, Barbados carried out a "debt-for-nature" swap, which saw $150 million of international bonds swapped for cheaper debt, generating $50 million for marine conservation. The savings from the island's mooted "debt-for-climate" swap will be used to upgrade a water treatment plant to help better manage water resources and improve food security, Straughn said. Barbados's previous debt-for-nature swap funnelled money towards protecting and rehabilitating the surrounding Caribbean sea. A debt-for-climate swap would be an almost completely new concept, though, and one that other climate change vulnerable countries are likely to want to explore.
