UN Secretary General to visit Vanuatu

On May 12, the Secretary-General António Guterres will travel to the South Pacific to spotlight the issue of climate change ahead of the Climate Action Summit that he is convening in September in New York.

This visit will take him to New Zealand, Fiji, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.

In each country, Mr Guterres will meet government leaders, civil society representatives and youth groups to hear from those already impacted by climate change and who are also successfully engaging in meaningful climate action.

In Fiji, the Secretary-General will be at the Pacific Island Forum, where he will meet with senior governments officials from each Member State in attendance, as well as with members of civil society.

In New Zealand, Mr Guterres meet with Muslim leaders in Christchurch to express his solidarity following the 15 March terrorist attack.
