Fiji is calling for urgent improvements in climate finance access and tailored energy solutions for vulnerable island states.

The two-day high-level meeting, hosted by the OPEC Fund, focused on closing the gap between climate ambition and implementation in countries with limited emissions but disproportionate exposure to climate risks.
