UN General Assembly

The PRF, an innovative Pacific-led initiative, is designed to deliver much needed financing directly to communities on the front lines of climate change in the Pacific. By pooling resources and investing in local adaptation, the PRF represents a new model for building lasting resilience across our Pacific region. Nauru calls on our partners to continue to stand with our Pacific family. We also welcome others who wish to join us and invite all friends of the Pacific to work alongside us in building a more resilient future for our region. Both the HDI and the PRF are not charity. They are sound investments in stability, security and sustainability for communities on the front lines of climate change. Let us move beyond pledges and deliver real protection and hope for our people, the Pacific and the generations to come. Madam President, the International Seabed Authority faces the complex challenge of balancing competing priorities while fulfilling its mandate. Nauru speaks directly today because the urgency of this issue requires clarity, not just diplomacy.
