Australia would bid to host a United Nations climate change summit in partnership with other Pacific nations if Labor won next month’s federal election as part of the federal opposition’s bid to improve the nation’s credentials with the region on the issue.
“Seeking to host COP with those Pacific partners who wish to co-host it with us will be an excellent opportunity to remind the world about the issues at stake and enable our Pacific brothers and sisters to make their case to the world in a most direct way,” he toldThe federal government – which committed Australia to a net zero emissions target by 2050 at COP26 in Glasgow – has faced growing criticism from Pacific nations such as Fiji, Tuvalu and Samoa in recent years for not lifting its...
