New Zealand's Pacific minister isn't expecting any heat to be directed his way when he meets the region's leaders this week.
Aupito William Sio is in Tuvalu for the Pacific Islands Forum, ahead of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's arrival on Wednesday.
Pacific leaders -- particularly the prime minister of Tuvalu, whose country is one of the most threatened by climate change -- have been critical of the region's two largest economies, New Zealand and Australia, for their climate ambitions.
He told Jamie Tahana his government will be telling the region it's firmly committed to action.
