During the talks, he emphasized the immediate necessity for worldwide efforts to reduce carbon emissions in order to effectively combat problems such as climate change. This phenomenon is causing severe negative effects on the well-being and means of support for individuals in small developing island nations like Fiji.
Prasad also urged developed countries to assist in the transfer of affordable technology to enable a seamless and economically viable shift towards renewable energy.
