The Micronesian Center for Sustainable Transport (MCST) is an exciting initiative from the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the University of the South Pacific to achieve our transport emissions reduction targets set under the Paris Agreement.
This exciting initiative from the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the University of the South Pacific is our vehicle to achieving our transport emissions reduction targets set under the Paris Agreement. In doing so, we want to act as a catalyst for our friends and neighbors in other Pacific island states. The Majuro Declaration on Climate Leadership that the Pacific leaders signed in 2013 calls on all actors, large and small, to be climate change leaders. No matter that the emissions of the Marshall Islands are miniscule on a global scale, we are determined to lead by example.
Shipping and sea transport is the very lifeline of our maritime atoll nation and our ocean region.
