“Saving Lives Through Innovation and Caribbean Leadership” - Speech at “Innovation Pathways: T&T Leadership for a Smoke-Free Future” in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago

🔥 WHAT WENT DOWN:
In this speech, Federico N. Fernández (We Are Innovation) displayed Trinidad and Tobago’s current data on smoking, which has been stagnated, and presented real life success cases of countries that were able to watch their smoking rates decline after embracing innovation-oriented policies and championing the accessibility, affordability and acceptability of Innovative Nicotine Products. Fernández shares: “Trinidad and Tobago has a historic opportunity at COP11 to lead the Caribbean toward evidence-based tobacco policy. While our smoking rate remains stuck at 19 percent, countries embracing innovation – like Sweden, the UK, and Japan – have seen dramatic reductions. With Saint Kitts and Nevis and Guyana already advocating for harm reduction, Trinidad and Tobago can build on this Caribbean momentum. At COP11, Trinidad and Tobago can show the region that we choose evidence over ideology and outcomes over outdated approaches.”
