FIJI’S Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama will use the 74th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA74) platform in New York this week to call on world leaders to come with realistic and concrete action plans against climate change.

Mr Bainimarama said world leaders must unite behind the science, take decisive action in tackling global warming and demand for greater action against the unrelenting climate challenge.

The Prime Minister will represent the climate-vulnerable islands in the Pacific in his capacity as Chair of the Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDs) to heighten our plea to the world for serious actions against rising sea levels and extreme weather patterns affecting our region.

Mr Bainimarama will deliver Fiji’s national statement on Wednesday, September 25, 2019.

He is expected to hold meetings with world leaders and dignitaries throughout the week, with discussions centered on climate change and related issues.
