When Canada, the Marshall Islands & other island nations work together in the #HighAmbitionCoalition anything is possible. @JustinTrudeau gets this. Good to discuss our recent efforts at the IMO, our push for greater climate ambition by 2020 & development of RMI’s Ocean’s Policy.

There must be a Madrid Ambition Drive for Survival #MAD4survival if countries are to deliver on their promise to increase their Paris targets by next year. My country was the first to do so but others must now follow our lead. #TimeForAction is now. #COP25

Every world leader must come to the UN Secretary-General's 2019 Climate Summit ready to step up their ambition. That is what the Marshall Islands will do & that is why the Marshall Islands was one of the first to call for the Summit. It must help protect the future of my country.

#COP25 fires the starting gun on a year of ambition. Countries must deliver on their promise in Paris to table new NDCs. We have done it, and 15 other Leaders have pledged to Unite Behind the Science to Step Up Ambition. I will write to many others this week asking them to do so.

An honor for the Marshallese people & those that have stood with us over many years in fighting climate change. But the roll call is also deeply concerning. The Top 20 climate leaders must soon comprise G20 leaders if people around the world are to be safe

Special administrative region (SAR), or autonomous region, a Chinese concept about “one country two systems”. Nitijela Resolution 11, approved SAR concept. Disguised as economic development for many, its really about green paper for the few & foot in the door for the Chinese. Sad

Countries must use the 2019 UN Secretary-General's Climate Summit to do 3 things: set long-term plans to reach net zero emissions, elaborate how they will step up their short-term ambition & deliver more support. Will be one of my messages to #G7 Leaders & @antonioguterres today.

Proud that France will launch the 'Tony de Brum Declaration on Shipping' at next week's #OnePlanetSummit . International shipping must play its part if we are to stay within 1.5°C. We will use the Declaration to continue to build support ahead of crucial @IMOHQ meeting in Spring.

Pleased to attend meeting hosted by @antonioguterres & other leaders to discuss his 2019 climate summit - a crucial political moment by when each country must elaborate on ways to step up ambition by 2020 & communicate a long-term vision to move to net zero emissions by 2050.
