Small islands are at the forefront of climate change impact but this is an issue for the whole world and for the global community.
This was highlighted by the Prime Minister for Tuvalu Enele Sopoaga, at the Climate Action Partnership event.
Sopoaga says there needs to be more focus on actions at a global level that ensures industrialized economies reduce their emissions with urgency ambition.
He says there is also a serious issue in the financing of adaptation or coping with climate change.
The Tuvaluan Prime Minister says unless and until industrialized economies reduce their emissions, those living in coastal areas will be submerged.
Meanwhile, the Minister for Agriculture and Climate Campion Inia Seruiratu says they are not dealing with climate change in isolation but it is all about alignment and integration.
