@dramitsarwal: #Australia seizes global climate leadership as it takes charge of #COP31 negotiations - Australia will take a commanding role in next year’s COP31 climate summit, after a formal agreement confirmed Türkiye as host while granting Australia “exclusive authority” over negotiations in the lead-up to and during the conference. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the arrangement – finalised at COP30 in Belém, Brazil – gives Australia and the Pacific “unprecedented influence over multilateral deliberations and actions of the global community in 2026”. Under the deal, Türkiye will host the World Leaders Summit in Antalya, while Australia, partnering closely with Pacific nations, will drive the negotiation agenda. Foreign Minister Penny Wong said Australia had negotiated “in good faith” to secure an outcome that placed Pacific interests at the centre of global climate action.
