BAN PRAISES SMALL ISLANDS' COMMITMENT TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGENew
York, Apr 2 2014 7:00PMUnited Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
today praised the commitment by small islands in the Pacific to
low-carbon development and urged them to continue their ambitious
efforts to combat climate change and spur other nations to come to a
binding agreement on this issue next year.

"Because you are on the front lines, you know that we are at a pivotal
moment and that more needs to be done. You know that the world's
appetite for energy continues to grow, and the global thermostat
continues to rise," Mr. Ban said in his
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7561">message to the
Pacific launch of the UN Decade of Sustainable Energy for All, which
took place in Fiji.

While Mr. Ban noted that small island nations face special challenges,
such as rising sea levels, restricted markets and high energy prices
due to their remote location, he also highlighted successful
initiatives that are helping these countries achieve sustainable
development.

"The Pacific Islands are demonstrating real global leadership in our
shared efforts to make a much-needed transition to a new era in energy
use and production," he said. "Tokelau has become the first territory
in the world to generate 100 per cent of its power from renewable
energy, while our host, the government of Fiji, is demonstrating its
commitment to support sustainable energy for all through concrete
actions. These and other efforts are helping to point the way to a
sustainable future."

The period from 2014 to 2024 has been declared by the UN General
Assembly as the Decade for Sustainable Energy for All and two years
ago, Mr. Ban launched his Sustainable Energy for All initiative, which
seeks to achieve three inter-linked goals by 2030: universal access to
modern energy, doubling energy efficiency, and doubling the share of
renewable energy, thus providing services such as lighting, clean
cooking and mechanical power in developing countries, as well as
improved energy efficiency, especially in the world's highest-energy
consuming countries.

"There are climate solutions with a demonstrated track record of
success. They are feasible, affordable and they can bring economic
opportunity that supports our sustainable development goals," the UN
chief said in his message, delivered by the Under-Secretary-General
and High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked
Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States, Gyan Chandra
Acharya.

"I therefore urge your Governments to continue to be ambitious as we
move forward with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
process. Member States must deliver a global and legally binding
agreement by 2015. Sustainable energy is also a central issue in
discussions on the post-2015 development agenda."

Mr. Ban stressed that the leadership of small island developing states
will be crucial to advance on this issue and urged these nations to
ensure that their voices are heard "loudly and clearly" at the
Sustainable Energy for All Forum in June and at the climate summit in
September.Apr 2 2014 7:00PM
