(CNN Spanish) – Tuvalu’s foreign minister filmed a speech for the UN climate change conference in Glasgow, COP26, immersed in the sea with water up to his knees, to show how his Pacific island nation is on the front lines of climate change.
The images of Simon Kofe standing before a lectern installed in the sea, in a suit and tie and his pants rolled up, have been widely shared on social networks, drawing attention to Tuvalu’s fight against rising sea levels.
“The statement juxtaposes the COP26 scenario with the actual situations facing Tuvalu due to the impacts of climate change and rising sea levels, and highlights the bold action Tuvalu is taking to address the pressing issues of human mobility in the context of climate change, “Kofe said of his video message for the conference.
The video was recorded by the public channel TVBC at the end of Fongafale, the main islet of the capital, Funafuti, according to a government official.
It is slated to be screened at the summit on Tuesday, as leaders from that region press for more aggressive measures to limit the impact of climate change.
Many of the worst polluting countries have committed to stepping up their carbon emission reductions in the coming decades, with some aiming for net zero emissions by 2050.
But the leaders of the Pacific islands have demanded immediate action, pointing out that the survival of their netherlands is at stake.
