Barbados’ theme at Expo Osaka, Kansai: “Barbados is Life: Empowering Our People, Transforming the World” will convey the charm of the island and its people through the following:
Barbados is Life
Barbados’ greatest resource is its people. The country offers free education, free healthcare and political stability, ensuring opportunities for all. Our rich culture is evident in our music, cuisine and love for cricket. From sun-kissed beaches to the vibrant Crop Over Festival, our heritage, unique island lifestyle and culture define who we are.
Empowering our People
Through initiatives like the sustainable development model Roofs to Reefs Programme, Barbados embraces renewable energy, environmental protection and social resilience. By aligning with ten Sustainable Development Goals, Barbados is keen on safeguarding its future, fostering economic growth and building intergenerational wealth, while ensuring prosperity for all Barbadians.
Transforming the World
Barbados strives to inspire global transformation and lead global change through fair economic policies, such as the Bridgetown Initiative, championed by Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Amor Mottley. This visionary plan advocates for financial reform to aid vulnerable nations in addressing climate change, reducing debt and achieving sustainability.
