13 SEPTEMBER 2015
Leaders of the Pacific Smaller Island States have called on all nations, particularly the advanced economies in the region and beyond, to rise to the challenge of climate change and take transformational action to steer the world on a path where climate change is no longer a threat to earth.
As a first step in this direction, they called for a global moratorium on all new coal mines. "We cannot afford to lock in any further fossil fuel emissions. Green-Blue economies must be the way for now and into the future," says the Smaller Island States Leaders' Port Moresby Declaration on Climate Change.
