As COP30 kicks off, we call on nations to commit to concrete and specific action to ensure the survival of Pacific SIDS. Industrialised nations, including Australia and New Zealand as members of the Pacific Islands Forum, must urgently honour the Paris Agreement.
Australia as a developed country member of the PIF family is duty- bound to demonstrate greater and genuine leadership in climate action, as well as play a bigger role in the global actions in reducing GHGs which is ultimately leading to the existential threats to the PSIDS."
