帕劳总统惠普斯11月5日在阿联酋会见阿联酋总统穆罕默德：太平洋岛屿论坛代表团为COP31争取气候融资合作
太平洋岛国帕劳总统苏兰格尔·惠普斯（Surangel Whipps Jr.）11月5日在阿拉伯联合酋长国与阿方官员讨论气候变化议题，此时正值第31届联合国气候变化大会（COP31）于土耳其开幕前夕。惠普斯现任太平洋岛屿论坛主席，他与论坛秘书长巴伦·瓦卡（Baron Divavesi Waqa）、太平洋韧性基金临时首席执行官 Finau Soqo 一同会见了阿联酋总统谢赫穆罕默德·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬（Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan）。
据报道，双方讨论聚焦于加强合作、在联合国气候大会前推进太平洋地区的关键优先事项，并探讨深化气候融资合作的机会。太平洋一方的一项重点诉求，是为「太平洋韧性基金」争取注资—该基金是首个由太平洋地区主导和拥有的区域融资机制，专门用于增强太平洋社区的韧性。
惠普斯还会见了阿联酋气候变化与环境部长阿姆娜·宾特·阿卜杜拉·达哈克·沙姆西（Amna bint Abdullah Al Dahak Al Shamsi），讨论阿联酋的投资能力及其在可再生能源、气候适应型基础设施与水安全方面的经验，如何支持帕劳及更广泛太平洋地区的实际合作项目。
惠普斯此次阿联酋之行率领的是太平洋岛屿论坛高级别代表团，行程旨在加强气候韧性、投资与可持续发展方面的合作。COP31 定于本周在土耳其安塔利亚开幕。
Palau President Whipps Meets UAE President Mohamed in the Emirates on November 5: Pacific Islands Forum Delegation Seeks Climate-Finance Cooperation Ahead of COP31
Palau President Surangel Whipps Jr. discussed climate change with officials in the United Arab Emirates on November 5, ahead of the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP31, which begins in Turkey this week.
Whipps, who is serving as the chairperson of the Pacific Islands Forum, was accompanied by Forum Secretary General Baron Divavesi Waqa and Finau Soqo, interim chief executive of the Pacific Resilience Facility, for a meeting with the UAE's President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Discussions focused on strengthening cooperation, advancing key Pacific regional priorities ahead of the UN conference, and exploring opportunities to deepen collaboration on climate finance.
The meeting highlighted a key Pacific priority: securing contributions to the Pacific Resilience Facility — the first Pacific-led and Pacific-owned regional financing facility dedicated to strengthening the resilience of Pacific communities.
Whipps also met with the UAE's Minister of Climate Change and Environment, Amna bint Abdullah Al Dahak Al Shamsi, to discuss how the UAE's investment capacity and expertise in renewable energy, climate-resilient infrastructure and water security could support practical partnerships with Palau and the wider Pacific. Whipps was in the United Arab Emirates leading the high-level Pacific Islands Forum mission to strengthen cooperation on climate resilience, investment and sustainable development.
