Treasurer Jim Chalmers has made special mention of Australia’s Pacific neighbours in an address to global finance ministers highlighting the threat of climate change in the region., where Chalmers described ambitious action on climate as a generational imperative.
“We’re also working with our Pacific partners, recognising that climate change is the single greatest threat to their wellbeing and their security,” he said. “Australia’s new climate pledge is a step-up that Fiji has long sought – but out of the duty I owe every young person in the Pacific, I have urged @AlboMP to go further for our family’s shared future by aligning Australia’s commitment to the 1.5-degree target,” Prime Minister of Fiji and Frank Bainimarama tweeted on Wednesday., who is now secretary-general of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
The next time the Treasurer & the Prime Minister promote how climate friendly the Govt is, they could visit the families losing their homes due to rising waters in the Pacific. The Govts hypocrisy is truely astounding. ElizaEdNews
