Pacific climate talks: Regional leaders urge Anthony Albanese to end reliance on fossil fuels
What happened
Pacific leaders called for an end to the addiction to fossil fuels during a discussion with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Climate Minister Chris Bowen in Tuvalu. The meeting was part of a traditional Pacific island forum. The discussion was held with the Albanese government's support for coal and gas export projects in mind.
Why it matters
The request from Pacific leaders is significant because it contrasts with the Albanese government's approval of coal and gas export projects.
