Pacific leaders have reminded the world of the need to take action on climate change at the United Nations summit on Climate Action in New York.
Fiji's Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama said that "climate change is now a living nightmare to Fiji residents, who are now frequently affected by ample storms".
Marshall Islands President Hilda Heine has also warned that not enough was being done to address the issue and that major polluters faced a choice between “survival” or “selfishness.”
