| 21 September 2023 The Australian Government has again taken a bandaid approach to climate action, announcing a climate adaptation partnership with Tuvalu at the United Nations Climate Ambition Summit in New York while remaining steadfastly committed to fossil fuels. Australia was denied a speaking spot during the summit's plenary session, which showcased "first mover and doer" leaders and restricted participation from countries that did not meet those criteria. Foreign Minister Senator Penny Wong made the announcement with Tuvalu later in the day during a separate thematic session and made no commitment to increase Australia's climate target or to stop approving or subsidising fossil fuels, despite the expectation for all countries attending the summit to do both.
