Commonwealth leaders meet in Samoa at climate change summit
Prince Charles warns of the ‘great challenge’ of climate change at Commonwealth meeting
Commonwealth leaders have gathered in Samoa for a summit where they will discuss climate change and other issues.
The meeting is being held in the wake of a number of devastating hurricanes and floods around the world, which have highlighted the urgent need to take action on climate change.
In a speech to the summit, Prince Charles warned of the “great challenge” posed by climate change, saying that it was “the single greatest threat facing our planet today.”
He called on Commonwealth leaders to work together to find solutions to the climate crisis, saying that it was “a matter of survival for our planet and for future generations.”
The summit will also discuss other issues, including trade, economic development, and human rights.
The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 54 independent and equal sovereign states. It was established in 1949, and its members are mostly former British colonies.
The Commonwealth Summit is held every two years, and it brings together leaders from all member states.
The summit is being held in Samoa, which is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change.
Samoa is a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean. It is home to about 200,000 people.
Samoa is particularly vulnerable to climate change because it is located in a region that is frequently hit by cyclones and other extreme weather events.
The summit is expected to produce a number of outcomes, including a declaration on climate change and a plan of action for implementing the Paris Agreement.
The Paris Agreement is a global agreement on climate change that was adopted in 2015.
The agreement aims to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, and to pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The summit is an important opportunity for Commonwealth leaders to come together and discuss the challenges facing their countries.
It is also an opportunity for them to work together to find solutions to these challenges.
