At #COP29, we need the world to stand up for SIDS like Belize – the keepers of our precious ecosystems. Ambitious commitments on #ClimateFinance #NCQG will be absolutely crucial to unlocking much-needed financial flows for #adaptation and #lossanddamage. #StandUpForSIDS #SIDSLead

🇻🇨Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Inga Rhonda King has urged colleagues to join 🏝️ hardest-hit by #HurricaneBeryl 🇧🇧🇬🇩🇻🇨🇯🇲in collective action in solving a universal problem that is called #climatechange. We do need #climatejustice and we need your assistance now.

With loss of our lives, livelihoods, and valuable ecosystems, #SIDS are paying the ultimate price of climate change. #COP29 needs to give a particular focus on reducing emissions by tripling renewable energy use, and building adaptive capacity through climate financing for SIDS.

At COP29 Azerbaijan HODs mtg, AOSIS urged amplified action ahead of #COP29. Particularly, we look forward to enhanced collaboration as we work towards a fit-for-purpose #NCQG New Collective Quantified Goal on #climatefinance, to truly power the potential of the #ParisAgreement.

"We wish to see the #MVI deployed in real-world contexts, and through its eventual refinement, that it will unlock a new way of thinking and acting on development" Fatumanava Dr. Pa'olelei Luteru UN Launches New Way To Measure Economic Vulnerability barrons.com/news/un-launch… via @BarronsOnline

The adoption of the Multidimensional Vulnerability Index #MVI by the United Nations is an important milestone for #SIDS. We aim to see the #MVI deployed by donors, development banks, and financial institutions to unlock new ways of thinking and acting on #development.

A few days in Tonga offered me a front row seat to how people here have to endure the impacts of the climate crisis on a regular basis: From torrential rains & flash floods to rising sea levels forcing families to relocate. The world must take urgent #ClimateAction now.

"Surging seas are coming for us all." United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said that big polluters have a clear responsibility to cut emissions, as the UN releases two publications on rising sea levels and how they threaten Pacific island nations: ow.ly/pMuj50T7Czp

Finance for SIDS to address climate-related damage is often given on unfair terms, dictated by rules created by rich, developed counties. At #COP29, #StandForSIDS on high ambition on a new collective quantified goal on climate finance #NCQG that is fit-for-purpose for SIDS!

Grateful to the Government of Samoa for its generous handover of the new wing of the One UN house in #Samoa during the recent visit of UNSG António Guterres. This expansion will bring more UN agencies tog under one 🛖, enhancing our efficiency, coordination & ultimately our impact. 🇺🇳🤝🇼🇸

Small Island Developing States contribute less than 1% of global GHG emissions but have the most to lose to the climate crisis. UN Development is committed to supporting #climateaction for and in #SIDS. This includes securing the data for robust adaptation: go.undp.org/4KD

Climate change is impacting entire industries and economies of #SIDS. At #COP29, we must deliver a #NCQG that provides adequate and efficient financial flows to those who need it the most.

At #COP29, stand up for #SIDS! For SIDS, #ClimateAction is a matter of survival. We call on world leaders to show solidarity and ensure #COP29 delivers a #NCQG that finally provides the adequate, efficient #ClimateFinance flows we urgently need. #StandUpForSIDS

📢PRESS RELEASE: UNGA Leaders Must Step Up on NCQG “We must have a quantum for the #NCQG above USD$1 trillion, and at #UNGA79 countries must make strong strides to commit to a #COP29 process where access is signed, sealed and delivered in the decision we formalise on the NCQG."

When we come together, our strength is unparalleled! AOSIS #ClimateChange Coordination is complete, and our way forward is clear. Onward to #COP29! #1point5tostayalive #SmallIslandsGlobalGood #IslandsLead #UNGA79

As country leaders converge at #UNGA79, AOSIS Chair, Samoa Prime Minister, the Honourable Fiame Naomi Mata’afa, shone a light on the issues of small island developing states and advocated for bold action to support small island developing states #SIDS at #SummitoftheFuture2024 .

The Leaders of the Alliance of Small Island States are meeting on the margins of #UNGA79 High-Level week. This auspicious gathering solidifies their determination to secure the #sustainabledevelopment of our countries, taking our special circumstances into full account.
