Australia’s climate change funding gets lukewarm response from Pacific islands

Sydney —

The climate-sceptic leader made the announcement before travelling to the Pacific Islands Forum in Tuvalu, where island nations threatened by rising seas have vowed to put global warming at the top of the agenda. There has also been disquiet in the Pacific that Australia recently approved the giant Adani coal mine in Queensland state.“No matter how much money you put on the table it doesn’t give you the excuse not to do the right thing,” he told reporters in the tiny nation’s capital Funafuti, which is hosting the Pacific Islands Forum. “The right thing is cutting down your emissions, including not opening your coal mines. That is the thing we want to see.

Greenpeace said the package was nothing more than a diversion of funds from Australia’s Pacific aid programme and “a slap in the face to regional leaders”.
