#Albanese faces tough talks on #climate action at the #PacificIslandsForum in #SolomonIslands today – & they will be even tougher if his #environment minister, #MurrayWatt, gives the final go-ahead today for #Woodside to extend the life of its #NorthWestShelf #gasproject as has been suggested by reports this week. #auspol #ClimateCrisis

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.”
