26 September 2014 – Leaders of small island developing nations today urged the United Nations General Assembly to prioritize climate change and assist in their front line battle against its mounting impact.
“The international community’s actions to address climate change are grossly inadequate. We are focusing more on symptoms, not the root causes,” said Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele, whose capital city, Apia, hosted the third annual UN conference on Small Island Developing States earlier this month.
