The world’s smallest republic, Nauru is an island state in Oceania and a member of the United Nations since 1999. Lying close to the equator, it ranks among the countries that are particularly affected by the impacts of climate change, particularly heat waves and rising sea levels.
During the meeting, the Permanent Representatives discussed a number of topics of common interest, including the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans, as well as shared benefits for developing countries under the High Seas Agreement.
