Chair of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) joined representatives of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) on Tuesday at the Bonn Climate Change Conference to express concern over stalled negotiations.
Lead Climate Negotiator for AOSIS, Anne Rasmussen, delivered a joint statement at a press conference at the United Nations 62nd Meeting of the Subsidiary Bodies. Rasmussen warned that progress was lagging on key issues, and that global inaction could undermine the commitments made under the Paris Agreement.
Rasmussen said that while the Paris Agreement’s 1.5-degree Celsius limit had not yet been crossed, scientific reports indicated that the situation was more dangerous than previously understood. She said countries must act with urgency and ambition to prevent permanent overshoot of the 1.5-degree limit.
