Chris: We haven’t had a UN climate summit in the southern hemisphere for a decade, and as a co-host with the Pacific, COP31 could be a critical moment to focus on the region.

Chris: Australia is currently undergoing one of the fastest coal power transitions in the world and expects to decommission 90 per cent of its coal power plants by 2034.
