The Australian Energy Minister announced today, on Saturday, that Australia will ask the Pacific nations to host the UN Climate Summit in 2026, as the new workers government strives to establish the nation as a leading source of renewable energy on the international scene.
The position of climate change ambassador has also been reinstated by the government, and Kristen Tele, who claimed to have more than 10 years of experience in climate change policy, has been named to collaborate with other nations to address the climate catastrophe.
Chris Bowen, Australia’s Minister of Energy and Climate Change, said in Sydney in response to a proposal to host the Climate Summit, “This is of course an Australia’s opportunity to remind the world that we have returned, we have returned to the international table” (COP 31).
“This is an opportunity to engage closely with our family in the Pacific Ocean, and we will aim to join in hosting the offer with the Pacific Ocean to assist raise the ocean issue for further work on climate change,” he continued.
Due to the former Scott Morrison government’s resistance to demands to set more aggressive objectives for carbon emissions at the Glasgow Summit of the Climate last year, Australia fell short of industrialised nations in terms of its climate action.
Australia and Pacific nations have submitted bids to host the UN Climate Summit in 2026.
