But let's move from local to the Pacific. Briefly, while COVID has been a significant challenge for Pacific nations, so too is climate change and the impact of sea-level rise. That's why I'm really proud that Aotearoa New Zealand will invest $1.3 billion to support countries most vulnerable, a large majority of which will be in the Pacific, to help respond to the effects of climate change. We've seen first-hand the impact of climate change in our region: domestically over the summer with extreme weather events, and last year with the likes of Cyclone Ana having a deadly toll for our Pacific neighbours, and also the recent volcanic eruption, Madam Speaker, in Tonga, which you are very familiar with, and its devastating impact on your family and your community.
