One of the main recommendations from the forum minister’s meeting is how the forum can create a road map to re-look at its policies and processes that are in place.

Leaders will also deliberate on the forum’s stand on the Climate Action Summit to be convened by the UN SG next month.

Small Island states leaders have come up with very strong climate action and this is also expected to discuss in the meeting today.
