In his speech, Deputy Secretary Hernández shared the sorrow of the Mexican government and people for the devastating effects of Hurricane Otis, which hit the coasts of the state of Guerrero.

He acknowledged that rebuilding the populations affected by Otis will cost time and many resources, so he welcomed the consolidation of the Loss and Damage Fund, an international milestone that will allow countries, most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, to support their inhabitants.

He also highlighted the importance of multilateralism in finding solutions to build a more sustainable and resilient planet.
