From the Pacific Islands Forum in Palau, a reminder for world leaders: the impacts of climate change and sea-level rise are no longer a distant reality. They are here.
What is happening here in the Pacific foreshadows what will happen elsewhere tomorrow.
Our window to act is shrinking.
Cut emissions. Scale up adaptation. Deliver climate finance urgently and at scale.
