Michelle Bachelet (center), former president of Chile and currently the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, calls for urgent climate action in support of V20 economies.
President HE Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras @JuanOrlandoH : "It is urgent for us to work on adaptation. We need a debt service moratorium. We can use that capital for adaptation and mitigation."
V20 Climate #VulnerablesFinance Summit will feature Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, heads of states and finance ministers from @CVF Climate Vulnerable countries to mobilize robust economic responses to the crises that affect the world’s most vulnerable economies.
.@MohamedNasheed: We need large-scale debt service relief. V20 owns creditors $492 billion in debt, almost mirroring V20 amount of losses and damages. We have several solutions such as the Accra-Marrakech Agenda, but sadly we see very little action from major players
Hon. @MohamedNasheed, Maldives president, speaker, & CVF co-founder: We must now establish an independent secretariat fully accountable to the CVF and V20 presidency and its 58 member nations, within 6 months. The @WorldBank must also consider including the V20 as a constituency
CVF founder Mohamed Nasheed is at #COP28 to help launch @TheCVF-V20 Action Plan for 2024 and make big announcements with current Chair & Ghana Pres. @NAkufoAddo.
Pres. Nasheed met with Tonga PM Hon. Hu’akavameiliku and officials from other CVF members Bangladesh & Sri Lanka.
@MoFmv Ibrahim Ameer: COVID affected our economy because of the shutdown of tourism. Gov't rolled out responses to save lives and cushion impact on livelihoods. We realize more than ever the need to incorporate resilience in our long term plans.
