The Time for a Decade of Island Resilience is Now WASHINGTON, USA, October 27 (IPS) - As biodiversity loss including ocean degradation, pollution and climate change threaten our planet, islands, and particularly global small island nations, often don’t get the spotlight they deserve. Often labeled as vulnerable, the world’s small island nations are in fact powerful beacons of resilience.

3/10 Pacific island nation Palau spoke for vulnerable states:

"We are repeatedly returning home with insufficient progress to show our people. It is unjust for us to face the brunt of yet another global environmental crisis we contribute minimally to."

The briefing highlights:
✅ How timing & strategy shaped outcomes
✅ Why geography alone isn’t enough
✅ Lessons for future pandemic preparedness

screenshot of the submissions page on the NZ Parliament website. "Submission on Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill. Commitee: Justice Committee. I/We wish to make the following comments. I oppose this bill. Aotearoa-New Zealand is an island nation, in charge of a large oceanic zone and considerable influence over the Pacific region as a whole. The Pacific Ocean plays a significant role in our climate stablility as a planet and is best protected when the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific are also protected. As an Indigenous nation who is severely impacted by climate change, I call upon you to lead with climate justice and Indigenous justice at the forefront of your decisions. I/We wish to make the following recommendations. I call upon you to abandon this bill."

I oppose this bill. Indigenous rights are connected everywhere. The New Zealand Government has a moral responsibility to comply with Article 37 of the United Nations Declaration for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples which says: Indigenous peoples have the right to the recognition, observance and enforcement of treaties concluded with States or their successors and to have States honour and respect such treaties. I/We wish to make the following recommendations. I call upon the New Zealand government to reject this bill, honour Te Tuiti o Waitangi and implement the Declaration for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples."

Small island states 'weren't in room' when deal agreed Samoa says they are "a little confused" by agreement of COP28 climate deal while they were absent from room.

Insult to those nations among most vulnerable to the #ClimateCrisis to have not been part of this. Maybe deliberate to be able to push through the agreement?: Small island states 'weren't in room' when deal agreed #ClimateCrisis #COP28 #IslandNations bbc.com/news/av/worl...
