“The world we know is over”.

That’s the message from the President of the Marshall Islands — on the frontline of the climate crisis — as she delivered an impassioned speech at a UN climate conference in Türkiye.

It’s one of several from world leaders on Day 3 of the summit.

In his address, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese highlighted the urgency of the crisis, while insisting Australia is “playing our part”.
