Our Under-Secretary-General and High Representative, Rabab Fatima, joined UN Secretary-General António Guterres on a mission to the Pacific Islands. They visited Samoa, Tonga, Timor-Leste, and New Zealand, bringing the spotlight to the immense challenges and the resilience of Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS). USG Fatima praised the Pacific leadership, and the steadfastness that the Islands, and all SIDS, have shown in the fight for climate justice and urgent climate action. Witnessing firsthand the harsh realities of climate change and its devastating impact on small island states was a poignant reminder of the urgency of our collective action.
