This event, organized in collaboration with the NDC Partnership, will focus on the implementation of the country’s existing 2025 Nationally Determined Contribution and the development of its 2050 Strategy. H.E. President Hilda C. Heine intends to officially open the Dialogue, with Minister-in-Assistance & Environment Minister, The Honorable David Paul, and the Global Director of the NDC Partnership, Dr. Pablo Vieira, co-hosting the event.
The Partnership Dialogue will create a space where existing and new global, regional, and local partners can come together in a collective effort to support the Marshall Islands in responding to climate change and to implement its climate policies and commitments. Attendees will comprise working-level officials from national aid agencies, development banks, as well as technological and service providers.
The Dialogue will engage all partners in a two-way conversation and planning discussion. It aims to illicit specific feedback on a draft 2050 Strategy and to result in a draft ‘Partnership Plan’ that will provide a framework to align priority needs of the Marshall Islands with the services of the partners, including by looking to deliver immediate support to implement RMI’s NDC and the vision of the 2050 Strategy which will be finalized and launched shortly thereafter.
The Dialogue will also showcase the potential of the Marshall Islands to act as a lighthouse to other countries regionally and globally – including through its convening of the High Ambition Coalition and its incoming chairmanship of the Climate Vulnerable Forum – to enhance their NDCs and to adopt transformational 2050 Strategies with a net zero vision.
