| PRESERVING OUR ENVIRONMENT – THE PACIFIC WAY |
Global warming is now having an adverse effect on most Pacific Islands Countries particularly in atolls and low lying coastal areas.
And whilst our percentage of greenhouse gas emissions is miniscule on a worldwide scale, our people will suffer the consequences of high greenhouse gas emission of the metropolitan and developed countries and from the Pacific Rim. Despite the fact that the Pacific Island Countries have limited political 'clout' in the international arena, we do however have a strong hold on moral and humanitarian position in climate debates and negotiations after forming alliances with other like-minded organizations. Pacific Island nations need to join forces and take advantage of these alliances, only then, collectively can our voices be recognized in the world of the 'big leagues'. |
