SMALL ISLAND STATES AT UN CALL FOR GLOBAL STATESMANSHIP TO MITIGATE
CLIMATE CHANGENew York, Sep 26 2013 7:00PMFor the second day in a
row, leaders of the world's small island States took the podium at the
United Nations General Assembly to call for urgent international
action to mitigate the effects of climate change, which threatens some
of them with extinction because of rising seas.

"Never has the need been so dire for true statesmanship," President
Christopher Loeak of the
<"http://gadebate.un.org/68/marshall-islands">Marshall Islands
declared on the third day of the Assembly's annual General Debate,
warning that simply repeating well-worn negotiation slogans at next
year's climate summit will get the world nowhere.

"Global efforts on climate change are falling short – and low-lying
island nations such as mine are already paying the earliest costs of
what is fast becoming a global crisis. In every sense, the world must
build for future risks, and too often, we are still setting course for
current conditions," he said.

"It is the seas that are rising – not the islands that are sinking. I
will not concede my own land or my nation; but nor will I rest until
my fellow world leaders have signed on to act, not just out of
economic convenience, but of a common responsibility of all to strive
for upward momentum."

President Baron Waqa of <"http://gadebate.un.org/68/nauru">Nauru
called for the appointment of a UN Special Representative on Climate
and Security to help expand the understanding of the security
dimensions of climate change, reporting regularly to the General
Assembly and Security Council on emerging climate-related security
threats, as well as facilitating regional cooperation on cross-border
issues.

He also called on UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to lead a joint
task force of all relevant organs and specialized agencies to
immediately assess the capacity and resources of the UN system to
respond to the anticipated security implications of climate change.

"We have heard in countless forums about the potentially destabilizing
affects of climate change, yet we have only the vaguest idea of what
an international response to these growing impacts would look like,"
he said. "This needs to change. We must start preparing for the
challenges that lie ahead."

The two leaders are among scores of officials to speak at the annual
General Assembly session at which heads of State and Government and
other high-level officials will present their views and comments on
issues of individual national and international relevance.Sep 26 2013
