The President of Slovenia spoke about the security aspect of climate change, stressing that it is not only a human security issue, but also an important international security issue. She pointed to the catastrophic proportions of global warming and added: “Climate change does not spare any country, while it unfortunately affects the least developed countries the most, also due to the lack of solidarity in the world.”
The President called for solidarity and noted that “there will be no true progress without the effective and inclusive cooperation of all of us, all parts of our societies, including those who are often pushed to the margins and do not sit at the same table when decisions are made, or who cooperate but are not heard.”
Climate change was also the main topic of bilateral talks on the sidelines of the Doha conference, which President Pirc Musar had with the leaders of African and small Pacific island countries, whose existence is threatened due to rising sea levels.
