Australia, under fire for coal, pledges $339m for Pacific climate change →
Australia will donate A$500 million ($339 million) to Pacific Islands for renewable energy projects and to help its neighbours prepare for the impact of climate change, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Monday. The low-lying islands of the Pacific are seen as the front line of global climate change, battling rising sea levels and other climate-related crises that have forced some residents to move to higher ground.
