Foreign Minister Penny Wong has focused on climate change and border conflicts in her address to the United Nations General Assembly.
Ms Wong said the 2030 Agenda for climate change would not be reached within the agreed time period.
“At the halfway point we have seen stagnation or regression in nearly a third of the targets and we are not on track to meet any of them,” she said.
The Foreign Minister also addressed Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, stating it undermines the UN’s basic values.
She added North Korea threatens peace and economic stability within the Indo-Pacific region.
