Timely then that less than a week out from the UN-hosted summit that Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison should announce a plan for the country to have net-zero emissions by 2050.
Unsurprisingly there were the knockers of the plan - those who pointed out it appeared to be nothing more than a pamphlet with no real commitment, those who pointed out the plan had not even been through Treasury to be costed before being made public, those who pointed out an achievable aim of net-zero was something the wider population has been calling for for a decade.
It will be interesting to see how the global community view Australia's "plan" given many other countries have already embraced actions to reduce their carbon footprint - renewable energy, electric vehicles, phasing out coal mining and so on - and have done so by this decade, not procrastinating over another three.
One wonders whether media focus on French President Emmanuel Macron and Scott Morrison's back and forth sledging over an abandoned submarine deal is a welcome distraction for the government from this widely ridiculed plan?
For many years now, we've been told by our exceptional volunteers in the Rural Fire Service that planning to make a plan is not a plan.
Is it any wonder that we remain sceptical of leaders who for years have not committed to significant action on climate change only to change their tune a week out from a renewed global spotlight being shined upon them.
Along with these global leaders, there are spokespeople from a wide range of industries, researchers, educators, and community groups, taking with them stories from their own backyards of the effects of climate change.
Among them is Bega Valley's Jo Dodds, president of Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action.
Sharing lived experience is surely a powerful motivator for taking action and calling on others to do the same.
Let's hope our leaders are listening carefully and perhaps this UN Climate Summit COP26 in Glasgow is added impetus for doing more than printing a glossy pamphlet while refusing to reveal the modelling that supposedly backs it.
