Periled by climate change, Marshall Islands makes carbon pledge. Foreign Minister Tony de Brum July, 2015. 8![Periled by climate change, Marshall Islands makes carbon pledge [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper abstract bibtex The Marshall Islands, a small island country at high risk of climate change-induced sea level rise, vowed Sunday to cut greenhouse gas emissions by a third within a decade. In a pledge to be officially filed with the UN next week, the sparsely populated cluster of Pacific atolls becomes the first small island nation to submit a carbon-cutting pledge ahead of a year-end conference in Paris tasked with producing a world climate pact. "We will reduce emissions by 32 percent below 2010 levels by 2025," Foreign Minister Tony de Brum told AFP. "As a people and a nation, our very survival is absolutely threatened by the effects of climate change," de Brum said. "We want to make sure that the voice of the most vulnerable is heard in the process and taken seriously." "With most of the big emitters’ targets now on the table, everyone knows we are falling well short," de Brum said. "Our message is simple: if one of the world’s smallest, poorest and most geographically isolated countries can do it, so can you."
