Other challenges continue to threaten global peace and harmonious relations among nations and territories. The likely consequences of Climate Change loom large, especially for Small Island and Coastal Developing States, such as our CARICAD member states. Survival is the primary concern of millions. The most persistent and pernicious challenges of modern life may bring despondency, rather than hope, and hardship, rather than joy. It seems to be a more difficult, painful, and gloomier world. Yet, we can draw comfort from the momentous story of Christmas. Certainly, we must always be driven by love, empathy, understanding, forgiveness, and a desire for peace, rather than discord. Caring for others should remain our North Star.  Continues on next page 2 ׉ 7cassandra://As-mCovxwqGuHc42qXdbBLgIJ5KVubA8UNhkIzOUTMU[`c6,\o׉E Continued from previous page We, at CARICAD, pray that Christmas 2022 will still be a time of peace and of joyous celebrations. We pray also that the New Year 2023, will be filled with greater peace, hope, comfort, and more opportunities for happiness than many of us experienced in 2022. Our team is grateful to our Board of Directors, strategic partners, collaborators, stakeholders, staff, and associates for their efforts in 2022 to move CARICAD forward. We became even more innovative, adaptable, committed and results driven. Member states, we implore you to continue providing such support. A peaceful and blessed Christmas to all and a Happy New Year when it arrives. Thank you on the behalf of CARICAD. Devon L.
