At the High-Level Side Event on Responding to Loss and Damage: Scaling Up Finance and Partnerships during UNGA80, Prime Minister Hon. Feleti Penitala Teo delivered a powerful call for urgent and effective action.

He reiterated to leaders that Tuvalu and other small atoll nations bear the immediate brunt of climate change, where rising seas and severe weather threaten communities’ ability to recover. The Prime Minister stressed that the Loss and Damage Fund must deliver through reliable resources, rapid finance release, and accessibility for small administrations.

“Equity must be the principle that holds all this together,” he affirmed, urging that those most responsible for climate change must support those most affected. As he concluded: “Let us leave this meeting with the resolve to turn recognition into delivery.”
