Global climate talks begin in Azerbaijan this week, with Australia taking a central role even as the United States looks set to abandon the process.

In the absence of a powerful US presence in global climate diplomacy, Li said he believed both China and the European Union would step forward to take up a greater role. Australia, which has close ties with Europe and with climate-vulnerable nations such as those in the Pacific and a thawing relationship with China, was in a good position to facilitate such talks, he said.
