Yes, Guterres speeches at the #PacificIslandsForum highlighted the crisis and climate injustice, and the two reports launched accentuated the impacts of #SealevelRise on Pacific Island Nations in particular.
Australia shrugged off calls from Tuvalu and others to end fossil fuel expansion by our Prime Minister saying "Gas has a role to play". Sigh.

2/2 Maina Talia, Climate Minister from #Tuvalu, said:
“Opening, subsidising and exporting fossil fuels is immoral and unacceptable. If this [Pif leaders’ meeting] aims for regional prosperity, we must address #climatejustice, #sealevelrise and the root cause of climate change which is the burning of Fossil fuels.”
