In Papua New Guinea, rescue efforts are continuing after a landslide killed as many as 2,000 people. Papua New Guinea’s Prime Minister James Marape said the changing climate is devastating his country.
Prime Minister James Marape: “In this year, we had extraordinary rainfall that has caused flooding in river areas, sea level rise in coastal areas and landslips in a few areas. For instance, we almost had the entire South Simbu, that access passage to the Gumine Highway, that was probably cut for almost a month.”
