Many strong voices from Pacific, Melanesian, New Zealand and Australian civil society met in Cairns, North Queensland to raise concerns on climate change and human rights that are affected communities across the Pacific region.

Reverend Tafue Molu Lusama from Tuvalu said “We do not want to loose our identity, and our identity is strongly tied down to our land. Loosing our land literally means our death as a 'distinct' people on the face of this planet. You do not want to be responsible for that, so act urgently to avoid that happening.”

Pelenise Alofa Pilitati from Kiribati says “To Australia and New Zealand, please show me that you are strong caring big brother in the Pacific! Save the Pacific Islands by cutting the carbon emission.”
