Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka is calling for a herculean effort to ensure finances from the Loss and Damage Fund and all other form of climate financing are accessible trickling down to Pacific communities who are at the forefront of the climate crisis impacts.
Mr Rabuka made the statement at the High-Level Plenary of the World Climate Action Summit at COP28 in Dubai.
“We welcome progress made this week in the establishment of the Loss and Damage Fund. We urge the Fund should be more targeted to the special challenges confronting Small Island Developing States because we are the most exposed and most vulnerable,” he said.
