Prime minister will open international forum in Sydney, saying the Indo-Pacific faces ‘enormous’ challenges but also opportunities
Anthony Albanese will declare Australia has now rejoined the ranks of “trusted global partner” on climate action while committing his government to finding common ground across the Indo-Pacific to address both the climate crisis and the emerging economic opportunity of the clean energy revolution.
“We are the fastest-growing region in the world, home to more than half of the planet’s population, nearly two-thirds of the world’s economy, and more than 60% of global energy supply,” the prime minister is to say. “All of us here know what needs to be done. The nature of the challenge is not in question. Its urgency and scope is clear.
Australia “will once again be a trusted global partner on climate action”, and with more effective climate policies, Australia is again ambitious about what the region could achieve through technological innovation and collaboration, he will say.
