- In particular, development partners need to meet their commitments to capacity building and infrastructure development in low- and middle-income countries.
- No country is untouched by the effects of climate change. It is therefore vital that we respond to this existential crisis collectively, decisively and promptly.
- It is important that industrialized countries, which have the means and bear the greatest responsibility for climate change, support sustainable development in developing economies.
