Meanwhile the ones causing these climate changes are often least impacted by it. It's time to step up and do more, and we need your help to tell our government to act NOW. To take action, head to www.oxfam.org.au/get-involved...

Around the world, communities that have contributed least to the climate change are bearing its heaviest consequences. The impacts don't end when the disaster passes. Recovery can take years, pushing families and communities deeper into poverty and inequality.

From the devastating flash flood in Nepal to extreme storms and rising seas across the Pacific, people are losing loved ones, homes, livelihoods, culture and futures. Climate change is creating one of the greatest inequalities of our time.

As world leaders gather and see the lived realities in the Pacific, we must remember what is at stake. Keeping 1.5°C alive will require urgent action, global cooperation, and a commitment to the climate justice our neighbours deserve.

The sound of a conch shell is a call to come together. Today, as PRE-COP begins in Fiji, that call echoes across the Pacific, the Torres Strait and around the world. Communities on frontlines of the climate crisis are bearing the brunt of its impacts, despite contributing the least to the problem.

On Invasion Day in Boorloo/Perth, a fragment bomb was thrown at a First Nations Invasion Day rally—a racist attack that could have caused mass casualties. Luckily it did not detonate as intended—but this harmful action has been felt deeply by all First Nations Australians.
