The Greens are broadly in support of Anthony Albanese slipping in the announcement that he wants Adelaide to host the UN Climate Conference (COP) if Australia wins its (co) hosting bid (it is meant to be in conjunction with Pacific island nations)
Sarah Hanson-Young said:
It’s great to see the Prime Minister recognise what South Australians have always felt —
Adelaide is the city of clean, green power and climate action.Adelaide and Australia have the opportunity to lead on the next crucial steps of combating dangerous climate change, but we must stop making climate pollution worse. We can’t put the fire out, if we keep pouring fuel on it. Australia can lead the way on getting rid of fossil fuel subsidies and opening new polluting mines.
After a jam packed few months with the Fringe, WOMADelaide, the Adelaide Festival and Gather
Round, it seems only right that Adelaide is put forward as Australia’s host city for COP31.South Australia has led the country on investment and transition to renewable energy. Now we
should lead on pushing for an end to new coal and gas projects.
