The @LowyInstitute's @Mel_Pill & @GeorgiaHammersl write in The Interpreter, while COP30 is symbolically significant, deep-seated issues like weak commitments, major financing shortfalls & geopolitical divisions mean it is likely to disappoint again. 👉https://t.co/ilaBuYP9j0

In a new episode of the @LowyInstitute's Development Futures podcast, @Mel_Pill speaks with @thomasnhale about his new book 'Long Problems' and how institutions & global agreements can be reshaped to address climate change.

@stephendziedzic I think this is a great diplomatic move considering ongoing uncertainty and unreliability with AUKUS.

"World turned upside down" - former national security leaders warn Australia is not prepared for climate change threats, calling for an "emergency mobilisation" to meet profound disruptions https://t.co/7A6cV7Id0T

[Roland Rajah @RolandMRajah]

Meeting the climate & development financing needs of small island states is getting more but still not enough global attention.

So it was good to discuss the issues @CGDev last week with @Mel_Pill, Nemia Dawai, and Vic Dimond. Recording 👇

Timely post by my colleague @GeorgiaHammersl about our op-ed earlier this year on a Pacific-Australia COP in 2026. The challenges and opportunities of an Oceanic alliance. Watch this space! @AOSISChair @UNDP_Pacific @RolandMRajah @GraceStanhope @AlexandreDayant

[Georgia Hammersley @GeorgiaHammersl]

As Australia's bid to co-host COP31 in 2026 with Pacific nations gains momentum, my earlier Canberra Times op-ed with @Mel_Pill seems even more relevant, where we highlight the opportunities an Oceania-hosted COP could offer 👇https://t.co/gMNbFYSrsC

Surely not. A few hours ago China's Ambassador to the Pacific Qian Bo demanded Pacific Islands Forum "correct" the leaders final communique after it reaffirmed its position on China/Taiwan. Now the communique *appears* to have been removed from PIF website

Proud to be part of this great interview by @stephendziedzic on Australia's bid to co-host COP31 together with the Pacific. @LowyInstitute @RolandMRajah @spc_cps @georgejkcarter @DCCEEW @GeorgiaHammers1

[Stephen Dziedzic @stephendziedzic]

Latest on Australia's bid to host COP31 with the Pacific. Things went a bit quiet early this year, but more movement recently. Australia in a strong position, but Turkey also bidding, and Chris Bowen seems determined to avoid any hint of public hubris
