Episode description
The Albanese government is campaigning to host the next United Nations Climate Conference in partnership with Pacific nations.
Some have described this as an Olympic moment, but there is real concern it’s just an exercise in public relations and greenwashing Australia’s climate policies. In response, Pacific countries are now demanding Australia do more on climate action before agreeing to be part of the bid.
