  3. “At the September 2019 Climate Action Summit, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, Emir of the State of Qatar, stated: “The phenomenon of climate change is undoubtedly one of the serious challenges of our time.” His Highness announced the State of Qatar’s contribution of $100 million for the support of small island developing States and least developed States to deal with climate change and its destructive effects. Just recently, in October 2020, the Qatar Fund for Development and the Global Green Growth Institute signed a memorandum of understanding to work together to support small island developing States and least developed countries (LDCs) in achieving climate resilience and green growth, in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.”

  4. “The impact of the coronavirus disease pandemic on national health systems worldwide and on the global economy serves as an important reminder of the presence of the wide range of threats to our collective security and of the urgent need for working together to address them. Over the past years, Qatar has assumed its responsibilities as an active partner in the international community, working with the United Nations and other global partners to support developing and least developed countries, including small island developing States, in order to enhance resilience to the impacts of climate change and prepare for and respond to natural disasters. In December 2012, the State of Qatar hosted and actively participated in the eighteenth session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.”

  5. “I thank the United Kingdom for convening today’s open debate. I also thank the Security Council for its sustained commitment to addressing future threats to international peace and security posed by climate change. I would like to particularly thank His Excellency Mr. Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, for taking the time to preside over this meeting and I thank him for his leadership. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General, His Excellency Mr. António Guterres, for his insightful briefing. Extreme weather, natural disasters, climate change and other ecological challenges are contributing significantly to poverty, drought, food scarcity, health threats and displacement, especially in vulnerable States, least developed countries and small island States.”
