GENEVA (AN) — The main U.N. body dealing with trade, investment and development issues began a weeklong forum on Monday examining ways to solve the climate crisis, particularly sea level rise and other risks to small island nations.
"I speak to you as a prime minister and as a human. I'm here to tell you that the small island developing states need your help," Saint Lucia's prime minister, Allen Chastanet, told the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development's forum.
