Guyanese President Irfaan Ali calls out disproportionate effects of climate crisis on small island nations

United Nations, September 24 (RHC)-- At the United Nations, leaders from low-lying and island nations have also called on wealthy countries to do far more to combat the climate emergency. 

During his address before the UN, Guyanese President Irfaan Ali said: "Small island states and continental countries with low-lying coastlines, such as Guyana, will be the first to feel the full brunt of the impending disaster.  Yet our countries are among the lowest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing the least to the harmful and destructive effects of climate change.  This is not only unfair; it is unjust.”
