\nThe statement by the Climate Vulnerable Forum on Monday evening showed the world what climate leadership really is. <\/p>\n

The Climate Vulnerable Forum Adopted The Manila-Paris Declaration<\/a> (PDF) and committed to zero emissions by mid-century and 100 per cent renewable energy decarbonization by 2050. The leaders of 30 nations, some of them the most vulnerable to climate impacts, were determined to keep the world on track for below 1.5 degrees of warming. <\/p>\n

“Individually, we are already survivors; collectively, we are a force towards a fairer, more climate-proactive world,” said Philippine President Benigno S. Aquino III.<\/p>\n

“We refuse to be the sacrifice of the international community in Paris. Anything that takes our survival off the table here is a red line. All parties have an obligation to act. Not doing so is a crime. This Declaration is just the beginning of our efforts to step up our voice and collaboration,” said Anwar Hossain Manju, Hon. Minister of Environment of Bangladesh, in a statement<\/a> on the Climate Vulnerable Forum website.<\/p>\n
