Colin Beck - Permanent Representative of the Solomon Islands to the United Nations
"When we speak of quick finances, I think it also needs to link to the long term goals, so its not about money its about survival for us. Finally I would like to say, it is a matter of urgency and failure is not an option. "
Feturi Elisaio - Permanent Representative of Samoa to the United Nations
"We are here because science instructed us to be here and science instructed us to act now, why because we share the same planet and for Samoa, we call this planet our heritage, it is also our home, for some they call it an investment or a disposable asset."
