Minister Nimrod said that the climate is changing 10 times faster than the efforts to address it. Therefore, it is of crucial importance that everyone plays their part in the adaptation of the unchangeable conditions and mitigating the future causes of Climate Changes.

Minister Nimrod added that work on these projects are expected to begin very soon, and is advising the benefiting communities and institution to welcome the opportunities so that the sister-isles can continue to receive greater favours, not only from UNDP, but also other funding agencies.

In closing, Minister Nimrod noted that approval from other funding agencies is expected for a number of Capital and Climate Change Projects.
