Given that 90% of our print media is Murdoch owned it wasn't getting printed in Australia.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The summit comes as the Australia Institute has published a full-page ad in the New York Times calling on the Australian government to halt "over 100 new coal and gas projects" in the pipeline.

She leads grassroots climate action in her remote island community, including relocating buildings affected by rising sea levels, coral reef restoration and fisheries preservation.

The pair were part of a Pacific delegation who were in Australia earlier this month meeting with parliamentarians and business leaders to call for greater climate financing in their region.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden will host a second summit with leaders of the Pacific Islands Forum at the White House on Monday next week to discuss climate, economic growth, sustainable development.

The climate summit has been convened by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to showcase leaders from across government, business, finance, and society who are making concrete actions to keep alive the Paris Agreement goal of curbing global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

"I look forward to promoting Australia's constructive role on climate change at home, in the Pacific and beyond as we build momentum towards this year's Conference of the Parties [COP] in Dubai," she said.
