Another year has come and gone, and yet, this world is still years away from taking the action required to protect the Pacific Islands from climate change.
2013 should have been the year in which countries demonstrated a stronger commitment to reducing emissions. But instead, some of the worlds most powerful nations- including Japan, Canada and our Pacific neighbour, Australia - used the United Nations meeting as a chance to declare that they are going to minimise their action on climate change - not increase it.
These powerful nations are basically signing over our cultural death warrants; their behaviour over the last year is a clear indication that they are NOT concerned about the future of the Pacific Islands. Their main concern and area of interest lay in propping up the fossil fuel industry.
The Pacific Islands cannot sit by and let this continue. Sign the pledge here to stand up for the Pacific Islands in 2014!
