As the largest global producer of cobalt and a major copper producing power, the DRC is at the heart of this transformation. Congolese cobalt is already being used in batteries, power grids, digital equipment, and technologies that are crucial for the decarbonization of the global economy. It would be both unjust and dangerous for added value, jobs, know-how, and technologies to remain concentrated far away from the communities that are making these changes possible. 11:56:59Copy

This is why, as a government, we are dealing with the consequences of energy price pressures by passing degrees to protect Croatian citizens and economy from energy shocks created far away from our shores. As distant as they may seem, these shocks are real, as they ripple into domestic inflationary pressures, affecting everything from wages and pensions to food prices and basic services. This is why freedom of navigation, maritime security, and the strict implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea matter to everyone. 11:23:41Copy

With a temporary overshoot of the 1.5 degree Celsius target now inevitable, a fast, fair, just and orderly transition away from fossil fuel is even more urgent and require serious attention. Although the science may be clear that methane mitigation is the only scalable near-term solution capable of rapidly slowing global temperature rise and buying time for long-term CO2 decarbonization strategies to take effect, Tuvalu will insist that CO2 mitigation must also remain a top priority, and that both methane mitigation and CO2 mitigation should be vigorously pursued simultaneously. Therefore, The Dasiriki call for a fossil fuel free Pacific and the Funafuti call for climate justice and climate actions are critical Pacific-led instruments championing Pacific regional survival and global climate actions. 3:16:20Copy
