Session 6 – Working Together to Address Multiple Crises (Food, Health, Development, Gender)
Kia Orana and warm Pacific greetings.
It’s an honour to represent the 18 island nations of the Pacific Islands Forum.
As a collective, our Pacific region contributes less than 0.03 percent to global emissions.
Our emissions are the equivalent of a burning matchstick in a forest fire.
