Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla thanked Annalena Baerbock, President of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, for the organization’s support following Hurricane Melissa.
"As Hurricane Melissa strikes, our thoughts are with the people of Jamaica, Cuba, and all affected across the Caribbean, especially those who have lost loved ones," stated the UN official. For Small Island Developing States, the climate crisis is a lived reality and the cost of inaction is measured in lives and livelihoods. Adaptation isn’t optional, it’s survival. Solidarity must translate into sustained, scaled-up climate action”.
