FAO Chief at 34th Regional Conference for Asia and the Pacific
12 April 2018, Nadi, Fiji --- FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva today urged governments in the Asia and Pacific region to sharpen their focus on achieving Zero Hunger, and to do so by reducing rural poverty and adapting the agricultural sectors to climate change.
Small Island Developing States (SIDS), and especially the Pacific Islands, are the countries most vulnerable to climate change, Graziano da Silva said. Over the last 10 days alone, Fiji has been battered by cyclones Josie and Keni, and this is emblematic of how for the SIDS' adaptation to climate change and resilience to disasters is more than a vital condition to achieve sustainable development.
