‘We’re sinking and we need help,’ Bainimarama tells world leaders

Pacific islands are sinking as a result of climate change and they need help.

That’s the message from Fiji’s Prime Minister and the President of the 23rd meeting of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (U.N.F.C.C.C. C.O.P.23), Frank Bainimarama, to world leaders in Bonn, Germany, this week. 

Speaking to the Samoa Observer, Mr. Bainimarama said he has called on the world leaders he has met with so far to act with more urgency.

“As you know, climate change doesn’t differentiate between people,” he said.

 “The islands are sinking, and they want assistance.”

Mr. Bainimarama is spearheading the Pacific drive in Bonn with other Pacific leaders joining him for the event.
