On #WorldEnvironmentDay & every day, I reiterate @antonioguterres's call to #ActNow to protect & restore our planet, especially for the most vulnerable nations - #LDCs, #LLDCs & #SIDS who remain disproportionately affected by the #ClimateCrisis, despite contributing least to it.

[Roland Mollerus @USG_OHRLLS]

“It is a disgrace that the most vulnerable are being left stranded, struggling desperately to deal with a climate crisis they did nothing to create”
