On the margins of the 74th UN General Assembly, the Prime Minister will also call on the world leaders to establish more robust and aggressive NDCs.

These NDC’s would contribute to halving the carbon emissions by 2030, reaching net-zero emission by 2050 and also keeping climate resilience and actions at the heart of their respective national agendas.

The Prime Minister will deliver Fiji’s national statement tomorrow.

Bainimarama will also reinforce the importance of global leadership in the area of health and finance, sustainable development and oceans to name a few.
