2019 - COP25 - 12 December: AOSIS Ministerial Press Conference

The Caribbean's Case for 1.5°C

"Since 2009, more than a hundred
Small Island Developing States, Least Developed Countries
and many others have been calling for limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C
above pre-industrial levels to prevent the worst of climate change impacts.
The inclusion of a 1.5°C temperature limit in the 2015 Paris Agreement
was a major victory for vulnerable countries."

"We hastily convened this press conference because COP25 is demonstrating very little ambition. #COP25 is a defining moment for us. It MUST trigger a decade of ambition." - Carlos Fuller, lead negotiatior
