This FOI release from DCCEEW comprises emails, briefing material and talking points concerning the Pre-COP Leaders' event for COP31, to be held in Tuvalu on 5 and 6 October 2026 ahead of the main Pre-COP in Fiji. The documents cover attendance by Pacific and other heads of government, advocacy with partners including New Zealand (whose general election on 7 November 2026 may affect its representation), and logistical support such as a possible New Zealand C-130 aircraft. Also included are a briefing pack for a 20 July 2026 Australia-New Zealand Climate Ministerial Dialogue and a Pacific Climate Change Ministers' Talanoa paper. Much of the text is redacted under s22 and s33. The material concerns diplomatic engagement rather than environmental regulation, and contains no EPBC Act, site, species or emissions data.
