Minister Clarke acknowledged the significance of this framework in the region-wide achievement of long-term climate goals and underscored the specific importance of equitable partnership and accessible climate financing to the Federation’s mitigation and adaptation capabilities, especially as the country continues to seek viable pathways to the fulfillment of its Sustainable Island State Agenda (SISA).

The discussion also extensively covered other priority areas and key initiatives such as the revitalization of the SKN Geothermal Project, clean energy transition and alternative energy generation models, the Federation’s current recycling and waste management strategies, as well as the potential greening of significant industries Federation-wide.

Minister Clarke and Ambassador Taglialatela underscored the necessity of joint efforts as well as continued, amplified technical exchange in ensuring that the Federation remains on track with the 2030 Agenda.

The meeting concluded with renewed commitments for deepened bilateral cooperation on climate action and resiliency efforts.
