Australia Must Lead on Climate Justice | Perth News
Description
A glacier collapse on the Nepal-Tibet border has triggered catastrophic floods, killing nearly 1,400 and leaving over 5,100 missing—including 35 Australians. Climate activists from 57 organizations are demanding urgent action from Australia: halt new fossil fuel projects, end subsidies, and commit $11 billion in climate finance over five years. They argue it’s unjust that low-emission nations like Nepal bear the brunt of climate disasters while fossil-fuel exporters like Australia evade responsibility. With Australia set to lead COP31, campaigners insist it’s time for real leadership—not just empty promises.
