| Fiji's prime minister says he fears Pacific island nations are "doomed" because industrialised countries appear set to reject a global climate pact at crunch talks in Paris in December.
Powerful polluting nations were willing to sacrifice the low-lying islands to rising seas rather than risk the economic growth that fuels their lifestyles, Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama said.
He said the UN-sponsored COP 21 talks appeared set to become an excuse for wealthy nations to pay lip-service to climate change, without taking meaningful steps to address it.
"I have yet to detect the necessary political will on the part of many of the industrialised nations to face up to their obligation to humanity to effectively confront this crisis," he told a climate conference in Suva on Wednesday.
