Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his government lack the credibility to lead international climate negotiations at next week’s COP31 summit in Türkiye, according to academics.
More than 500 experts from Australian universities and research institutes have urged the Prime Minister to end approvals for new or expanded coal, oil and gas projects, arguing Australia cannot demand climate action from other countries while continuing to green-light fossil fuel projects at home.

Countries are more than capable of winding down their fossil fuels regardless of how much coal we sell, we can tell because we are doing this, we have nearly unlimited coal and yet we are not building new coal power plants unlike China or Indonesia
