Lt. Gov. Victor B. Hocog gave the CNMI’s support in the “common barriers” the islands of Micronesia face with non-communicable disease, invasive species, shipping costs, and the effects of climate change, at the 21st Micronesian Chief Executives Summit, or MCES, in Koror, Palau.
Speaking to regional leaders, Hocog also threw support behind the goal to reduce carbon emissions by 1.5 degrees starting in 2020 as set in the recent Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change last year.
