Annabel Fuller
Annabel Fuller was in Antigua and Barbuda and holds a BA in International Relations from Leeds University, UK. She has worked for The Daily OBSERVER newspaper as a journalist, reporting on important environmental issues in my country. Her love for the ocean, sailing fishing diving surfing and kite surfing has fuelled her passion for the environment, and has given her first hand evidence of the issues faced in Antigua. She is committed to seeing the government embrace climate change and the measures needed to mitigate the effects of climate change on the country’s Small Island Developing State. She is interested in what role Antigua and Barbuda has played as chair of the G-77/China and how Antigua and Barbuda has contributed to the international process.
