Hon AUPITO WILLIAM SIO: The high level of the Vemööre Declaration was drafted by the SPREP and the Government of New Caledonia and was adopted on 26 November 2020. The declaration describes regional priorities for biodiversity conservation and is intended to be drawn on to present a Pacific voice at significant international environmental events. It highlights the urgent need for transformative action and sets out commitments to address the root causes of biodiversity loss. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working with SPREP and the Pacific community to take such action in the Pacific region.
