Caribbean populations face increased displacement, dispossession and debt burdens due to shocks related to climate change. As the major neighbouring power that is the most significant historical contributor to global warming, the United States has persistently deflected from this responsibility. Instead, its climate plans are weaponized to target potential climate refugees who constitute a ‘national security threat’ and are faced with risks of premature death. These policies also aim to create green capitalist peripheries following racial capitalist logics. The paper contends that US climate interventions and policies increase the likelihood of Black dispossession within Caribbean societies. These policies commit to supporting so-called ‘left-behind’ white communities in need of a ‘just transition’, while Caribbean racialized subjects are not as equally deserving. To explain this, the paper examines major climate policies, in particular the recent Congressional Climate Action Plan of the US House of Representatives and President Biden’s climate proposals. It juxtaposes policy claims against political actions and racial capitalist historiography of the United States, especially its past treatment of climate refugees from the Caribbean. This analysis shows the persistent ways in which US climate policies advance organized abandonment and a neocolonial relationship predicated on an unjust system of racial capitalism.

由于与气候变化有关的冲击，加勒比地区的人口面临着更多的流离失所、剥夺和债务负担。作为历史上造成全球变暖最重要的主要邻国，美国一直在推卸这一责任。相反，其气候计划被武器化，以针对构成“国家安全威胁”并面临过早死亡风险的潜在气候难民。这些政策还旨在按照种族资本主义逻辑创造绿色资本主义外围。该论文认为，美国的气候干预和政策增加了加勒比社会中黑人被剥夺权利的可能性。这些政策致力于支持需要“公正过渡”的所谓“留守”白人社区，而加勒比地区的种族化科目则不那么值得。为了解释这一点，本文考察了主要的气候政策，特别是最近美国众议院的国会气候行动计划和拜登总统的气候提案。它将政策主张与美国的政治行动和种族资本主义史学并列，特别是其过去对来自加勒比地区的气候难民的待遇。这一分析显示了美国气候政策以不公正的种族资本主义制度为基础推进有组织的遗弃和新殖民关系的持续方式。它将政策主张与美国的政治行动和种族资本主义史学并列，特别是其过去对来自加勒比地区的气候难民的待遇。这一分析显示了美国气候政策以不公正的种族资本主义制度为基础推进有组织的遗弃和新殖民关系的持续方式。它将政策主张与美国的政治行动和种族资本主义史学并列，特别是其过去对来自加勒比地区的气候难民的待遇。这一分析显示了美国气候政策以不公正的种族资本主义制度为基础推进有组织的遗弃和新殖民关系的持续方式。
