The magnificent nature of this region provides a poignant reminder of why we must respond to the global environmental challenges we all face, including climate change. SHIELD aims to make all people in communities safer and more resilient to the impacts of disasters and climate change. Australia has joined the Coalition for Climate Resilience Investment, which aims to shift private investment towards climate resilient infrastructure and support vulnerable communities to attract private sector investment. Additionally, we are joining the Call for Action on Raising Ambition for Climate Adaptation and Resilience, to encourage greater ambition, finance and coordination to protect against growing climate risks. But whether we are responding to the challenges of conserving wildlife biodiversity or tackling climate change, we need to do it together.
