Particular attention was given to the challenges faced by small and climate-vulnerable states.
Through the COP31 side event, Belize and its international partners highlighted the importance of ensuring that countries have the resources, expertise and partnerships needed to turn climate commitments into practical solutions, while advancing a more equitable and resilient future.
