Useful reminder from Eliza Northrop on the ongoing importance of listening, learning from and amplifying the voices of the people of the Pacific in the next 12 months and at COP31. theconversation.com/turkey-will-...

Australia still has an opportunity to build its credibility on climate action. But it will also need to elevate Pacific-led perspectives and priorities.
