Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley was for the second time named on a Forbes Magazine top list.
Mottley, 59, has been listed among the 100 Power Women in the world.
She appeared in the politics and policy category of the prominent magazine, it noting that she became the island’s first female leader in 2018 and emerged as a “global leader on the issue of climate change”.
In 2021, the magazine noted, she gave an impassioned speech to the United Nations (UN) General Assembly calling for action and was later that same year
named a Champion of the Earth for Policy Leadership by the UN Environment Programme.
Mottley also led Barbados’ transition from a constitutional monarchy to a parliamentary republic in November 2021.
Earlier this year, she was also named to Forbes’ Sustainability Leaders list.
