Andorra Defends Its Climate Change Mitigation Efforts Before the OSCE
On October 29, 2024, Andorra’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, David Forné, addressed the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in Vienna, highlighting the country’s progress in combating climate change.
Minister Forné emphasized Andorra’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable development. He outlined the country’s recent initiatives, including:
- The adoption of a comprehensive Climate Change Adaptation Strategy in 2022.
- The investment in renewable energy sources, such as hydropower and solar power.
- The promotion of energy efficiency measures in buildings and transportation.
- The development of a national carbon pricing system.
Forné stressed that climate change is not only an environmental issue but also a security threat, as it can lead to increased natural disasters, migration, and conflicts over resources. He called on other OSCE participating states to step up their efforts to mitigate climate change.
“Andorra believes that it is essential for countries to cooperate on this global challenge,” Forné said. “By sharing best practices and supporting each other, we can create a more sustainable future for our planet and its inhabitants.”
The OSCE is a regional security organization that brings together 57 countries from Europe, North America, and Central Asia. The organization’s mandate includes promoting cooperation on economic and environmental issues, including climate change.
Andorra’s presentation was well-received by the OSCE member states, who commended the country for its leadership and commitment to climate action. The country’s efforts serve as a model for other small states that are taking proactive steps to address the climate crisis.
