"Environmentally the story is the same. From soil-leaching sugar plantations to wasteful coral-bleaching cruises the Caribbean has been an extraction zone for centuries. It's now the world's 2nd most hazard-prone region despite contributing XXX% of historic global emissions"

"Labour has tied itself in knots with its fiscal rules and manifesto pledges on tax catching itself in a similarly short-termist cycle of decision-making. Our Senior Research Fellow Eleanor Shearer in @openDemocracy on the Budget"

"In 1625 English captain John Powell landed on a largely uninhabited Barbados with its Indigenous communities already displaced by Spanish slave-raiding. By 1627 English settlement began. What followed was centuries of extraction and environmental devastation permanently reshaping the Caribbean and Britain"

"Historian Sir Hilary Beckles dubbed Barbados the birthplace of British slave society. It is a microcosm of European imperialism: systems designed to generate incredible wealth for a few through extraordinary suffering for many"

"Enslaved Africans built this economy but received little to none of the wealth they created. By the 18th C almost XX% of export value in the Americas came from their labour. They received nothing at emancipation. Slave-owners however were compensated"

"The decarbonization project is a matter of investment and divestment. For a successful transition these decisions must prioritize systemic social outcomes and avoid disruptions regardless of whether doing so will generate profit. Find out more ๐Ÿ‘‡"

"Slavery & colonialism are not merely things that happened far away & long ago. We continue to live with their consequences. Our new project visualises extractive capitalism in the Caribbean. ๐Ÿงต This is how empire shapes Barbados Britain & the world"

"Supported by @FProvFoundation weve created an interactive visual map and timeline exploring how wealth has been extracted and people exploited in Barbados"

"Empire wasnt something that happened over there. It built Britain itself from Liverpool shipyards to London banks Birmingham gun factories to Bristol sugar refineries all fused into an economy with sugar and enslavement at its heart"

"The structure of this system was deliberate: colonies produced raw goods while Britain kept the high-value industries. White planters certainly grew rich but two-thirds of the value of the sugar chain flowed back to Britain. The Caribbean was made peripheral by design"

"Decolonisation didnt undo this reality. Caribbean economies were instead folded into a US-led neoliberal order defined by foreign ownership unequal trade and debt constraints that limit genuine sovereignty"

"Tourism now the regions main export continues this exploitative pattern. For every US dollar spent in the Caribbean around XX cents leaves the region captured by multinational cruise lines and hotel chains. Extraction didnt end; it simply changed its form"

"After slavery Black people in Barbados were pushed into low-wage plantation labour. By the early 1900s infant mortality in some parishes was nearly three times that of England and Wales. Instead of fading away inequalities were compounded"

"Today Barbados has one of the highest per-capita sovereign debt burdens in the world. This is a direct legacy from the centuries of extraction. Debt servicing drains resources needed for housing education nutrition sanitation and resilience against climate change"

"The consequences of slavery and colonialism consequences shape our present: wealth health climate vulnerability state capacity and global power. Just like the harms it unleashed justice must too be multifaceted"

"Across the Caribbean and the UK demands for reparations go back centuries. Caricoms Ten Point Plan and calls for a UK Truth & Reparatory Justice Commission reflect a growing consensus: reparations must address land culture finance climate and crucially self-determination"
