MBABANE:King Mswati has called for an inclusive and collaborative action against climate change, he was addressing the Climate Summit in Belém-Brazil this week represented by Prime Minister Russell Mmiso Dlamini.
“Eswatini is determined and ready to play her part, but the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities must remain intact. Those who have contributed most to this crisis must lead the way in resolving it. Our commitment does not abdicate their responsibilities to lead the response. We cannot allow our people to live in poverty while resources are diverted to solve a crisis that disproportionately benefited others. The war humanity has waged against nature, especially our climate system, has reached a point where it threatens our very survival. Corrective action is no longer a choice; it is an imperative. Climate action is long overdue, and its urgency cannot be overstated,” said the King.
The King then called for unity in confronting climate change being one of the greatest challenges facing humanity adding that, in doing so, all members of the global community including Taiwan must be allowed to play a role.
