Australia’s coal and gas emissions under fire at COP31
COP31 co-hosts Australia and Türkiye are facing criticism over their continued reliance on coal and gas.
SBS News spoke with Greenpeace’s Pacific head, Shiva Gounden, who says the summit’s push for electrification is “an important step”, but one that doesn’t mask the main driver of climate change — the burning of fossil fuels.
“Clean energy is important for this world, but you have to turn the other tap off,” he said.
