For Tuvalu, rising seas aren’t a future threat but a daily reality. This week global leaders were expected to see it for themselves – but only Mauritius and Timor Leste showed up. It comes as the region pushes for stronger climate action at Pre-COP talks held in Fiji and Tuvalu this week - ahead of next month’s summit in Türkiye. Fiji reporter Lice Movono also outlines the key moments from the week. ‘The Pacific’ is hosted by Johnson Raela and Alice Lolohea. #ABCThePacific Watch The Pacific on ABC Australia or on ABC iView: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/pacific Like ABC Pacific on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ABCPacific Follow ABC Pacific on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abcpacific/ For more from ABC Pacific news, click here: https://www.abc.net.au/pacific Subscribe: http://ab.co/1svxLVE Read more here: Note: In most cases, our captions are auto-generated. #ABCNEWS #ABCNEWSAustralia
