This principle to “leave no one behind” is echoed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, said the Prime Minister of Georgia in his speech at the Sharm El-Sheikh UN Climate Change Conference - COP27.

“Equitable geographical representation, sovereign equality, and dignity of all its Member States is a fundamental principle of the UN’s work and of this Body. This principle - to “leave no one behind” is echoed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Therefore, achieving Equitable Geographic Representation in the Composition of Constituted Bodies under the Convention remains among our highest priorities at this COP.

In conclusion, Dear Friends, I encourage and remind all our colleagues that success cannot be achieved alone; only with joint efforts, we will be able to reap the rewards. So let’s together translate the outcomes of COP 27 into prompt climate action”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.
