Climate Change office formed in Port Moresby

from The National
A TASKFORCE has been set up to address climate change issues in PNG.
The group was formed last Friday.
It comprises officials from the National Forest Authority (NFA), Department of Environment and Conservation, PNG Power and University of PNG, as well as those from the departments of Agriculture, Foreign Affairs and Mining and Petroleum, and the office of Climate Change, and representatives from some non-governmental organisations. NFA managing director Kanawi Pouru told the gathering: “The role of the Climate Change office has to be clarified quickly so line agencies know where we stand on climate change.”
