The world has come to new agreements on climate action.

At COP27 in Egypt, measures to tackle damage and loss in countries affected by climate change have been decided upon.

Today, fellow of the Asia Society Policy Institute and former diplomatic adviser during the Paris Agreement negotiations Thom Woodroofe on Australia’s role at COP27, and the next challenge: meeting our commitments.
