1. “In conclusion, we look forward to continuous engagement with Member States, civil society and development partners in addressing the comprehensive crises facing the Pacific in our own way, which would build on and translate our community and traditional ties and would translate women’s participation in international peace and security from theory into practice.”

2. “We propose that, in its support for climate action, the Security Council include: increased collaboration with the Peacebuilding Commission, other intergovernmental entities, the United Nations system and civil society to better support conflict-prevention efforts; the appointment of a special representative of the Secretary-General on climate and security and the deployment of dedicated staff, such as the climate security advisors; leveraging existing mechanisms, such as the climate security mechanism; integrating climate data in early-warning systems and other data and reporting tools, including regular reporting by the Secretary-General to the Security Council; incorporating climate risks in peacekeeping and special political missions’ mandates; and encouraging climate-informed mediation, peacebuilding initiatives and peace operations, among others.”

3. “The adoption by Pacific leaders of the Boe Declaration on Regional Security of 2018 and their endorsement of the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent recognizes a comprehensive approach to security. Tonga’s national women’s empowerment and gender policy, as well as the Pacific Platform for Action for Gender Equality and Women’s Human Rights, further create an enabling environment for mainstreaming gender across government policies, programmes and services, including budget allocations, and align well with the goals of women mediators’ networks.”

4. “I wish to congratulate Your Excellency on presiding over this meeting, and I am pleased to address the Security Council for the first time, on the anniversary of landmark resolution 1325 (2000), on the theme “Women’s participation in international peace and security: from theory to practice”. Peace and security for Tonga mean the security of the people from a variety of widespread and cross- cutting challenges to the survival, livelihood and dignity of the people. The impact of the intersecting crises of climate change, the coronavirus disease and disasters, including the volcanic eruption of 15 January 2022 in Tonga, creates a variety of insecurities that we, as a community of people, must address.”
