Samoa and Antigua and Barbuda called for urgent reforms to international climate finance, warning that vulnerable countries should not incur debt to recover from climate disasters they did not cause. Samoa’s Deputy Prime Minister Mulipola Anarosa Ale Molioo urged leaders to provide accessible, predictable, and grant-based climate finance, referencing discussions in Fiji and Tuvalu. Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne also called for changes to international financing arrangements, noting that a single hurricane can rapidly destroy infrastructure and livelihoods.
