AYCC is very disappointed by the outcome of the Pacific Island Forum in Cairns that ended yesterday. You can read some good analysis on Crikey here. As Bernard Keane says, “Australia appears to have defeated an effort by small Pacific states to argue for significantly tougher emissions reductions targets at the Pacific Island Forum — and then gagged efforts to discuss the issue publicly.”
Also, I just read this good article by Mark Diesendorf; encourage you to have a look.
