A public talk with the president of Kiribati & guests. Put simply, if Australia succeeds in its plans to double its coal exports, the world's plans to tackle global warming will fail. Anote Tong, President of Kiribati, has stopped in Australia en-route to Paris COP21 to make a final call for a global moratorium on new coal mines, discuss the need for urgent action at the climate talks, what success could look like, and the very real consequences for our Pacific Island neighbours and our global community if we don't. 6:30pm. Elisabeth Murdoch Theatre A, University of Melbourne.
