Delegates include representatives from Australia’s Green Party, five of whom are members of Australia’s senate. New Australian Greens leader Richard di Natale will be attending as well as former leader Christine Milne.
In total, 16 countries will be represented including Nepal, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Mongolia, Japan, Taiwan, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands.
On the congress’ programme are sessions led by Green Party Aotearoa New Zealand MPs.
Co-leader James Shaw will announce a policy proposal that will introduce an innovative approach to legislation and climate change.
A paper discussing how some of the smallest nations in the Asia Pacific region suffer the most from climate change, yet contribute little to the cause of the problem, will also be presented.
The congress programme includes a leaders panel session where Green party representatives from Australia, Japan, Nepal, Taiwan, Mongolia and India among others will discuss the challenges they face as the effects of climate change become more prevalent.
