Small update but big role for the Pacific region to play

Pacific islands play vital role in advancing action on climate change says Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. Mr Ban encourages the Pacific region to be more vocal in the Climate debates, especially with COP 21 just around the corner (abc news, 2015). It can build political momentum to resolve outstanding issues, it can call on the major economies to raise their level of ambition (UN News Centre, 2015).
