Maldives Environment Minister Dr Hussain Rasheed Hassan has called on the global community to “operationalise” the Paris Agreement and to make climate adaptation and mitigation funds available without delay.
He raised the issue at the three-day Asia-Pacific Regional High-Level Forum on Green Economy in Bangkok.
The conference brought together government representatives, private sector parties and NGOs from the region to discuss policies, private-public partnerships and regional cooperation in building a green economy.
On Tuesday, Dr Hussain, who headed the Maldivian delegation in Bangkok, delivered a keynote speech at a session discussing regional cooperation for climate action.
