Beautiful islands now face the risk of submersion. We must hand the earth down safely to generations of our children and grandchildren. The present INDCs are unlikely alone to achieve the 2 degree C goal. I would like the Paris conference to set a review process (to measure ambition)." - Reuters reporters. -
Malcolm Turnbull, PM of Australia: "From Australia we come with confidence and optimism. We are not daunted by our challenge. we do not doubt the implications of the science or the scale of the challenge.

Our target represents real economic effort. We will meet and beat our 2020 emissions reduction target and Australia will ratify the second commitment period of Kyoto Protocol."
