Cuban Science, Technology and Environmental Minister Fernando Gonzalez Bermudez warned Dominican authorities yesterday about the environmental consequences of global warming. He urged authorities to take steps to mitigate those effects. The increase in sea levels, the increase in storms and the damage to coral reefs in the country are only some of the damages Gonzalez alerted to. The minster also said that even though Latin America and the Caribbean do not emit many greenhouse gases, as do the more developed regions, the region should better integrate to finding solutions. Environment Minister Max Puig said that environmental concerns can affect the economy because an increase in sea levels will affect tourism and that DR beaches could suffer irreparable damages. The ministers made their comments after signing a cooperation agreement. The meeting took place at the National Museum of Natural History (MNHN) in Havana, Cuba.
