Luis Abinader demands urgent climate action before the UN General Assembly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader, made a forceful call from the United Nations headquarters in New York, urging the international community to expedite funding aimed at combating climate change. During his participation in the 81st session of the General Assembly, the president emphasized that for Caribbean nations, the climate crisis does not represent a theory, but a daily existential threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

For a small island state, climate change is not an abstract matter. Our vulnerability is not a statistical category. It is a reality we live.<\/p>\nLuis Abinader, President of the Dominican Republic<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The impact of sargassum and ocean protection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the central points of the intervention was the negative impact of sargassum on the region’s coasts. Abinader recalled that, thanks to a Dominican diplomatic initiative, this phenomenon has been recognized globally by the United Nations Environment Assembly, achieving the adoption of a specific resolution to address this problem that directly affects the tourism sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dominican head of state was emphatic in comparing the speed of natural phenomena with the international financial response:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We will not tire of demanding that climate financing arrives with the same speed as storms reach the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Commitment to marine biodiversity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the preservation of natural resources, the president highlighted the firm steps that the Dominican Republic has taken in the protection of marine ecosystems. Among the key points mentioned are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The ratification of the Agreement on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction.<\/li>\n
  • The recognition of the ocean as the country’s most extensive frontier, elevating its care to a State obligation.<\/li>\n
  • Support for global efforts to ensure the stability of maritime zones in the face of sea-level rise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Abinader’s participation is part of the UN High-Level Week, a space where world leaders debate peace, security, and sustainable development. This year, under the presidency of Khalilur Rahman, the international body seeks to restore trust and manage transformations that generate concrete results for all nations, prioritizing a just transition and climate justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
