The Commonwealth Secretary-General pointed to the disproportionate effect of climate disasters on small and vulnerable states, many of whom already have high debt burdens. These shocks can also lead to increased debt as countries turn to multilateral financial institutions to finance recovery efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outlining some of the work of the Commonwealth Secretariat, she noted that the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/tracking.commonwealth.int\/tracking\/click?d=6Sy582SOCFHRCuH0tFDJ1n1PkDDr3LFRPf_lMYnx6Es89hk92QGRwleCRBBw1F0D-VVfqDo2-cROxCnRjeBj0YiOoPj22lBJfkrF0-qhQ2Qtu-g-YahAnSvYtVY8llpq8t8J0MJ9qDU_wZFT98b4TsNN7R-3--umCC-6KJivqxEzj_g2d51d2g8o3kG2KrQVCw2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commonwealth Meridian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> system supports governments in managing their debts so that they more efficiently manage their obligations.
