Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called for urgent climate action at the COP31 summit in Antalya, Turkey, emphasizing Australia's role as a leader in renewable energy. Albanese highlighted Australia's achievements in doubling renewable energy generation in six years, which now accounts for half of the country's electricity mix. However, he did not address the issue of fossil fuels, drawing criticism from environmental groups and the UN Secretary-General, who emphasized the need to phase out coal and other fossil fuels to meet global climate goals. The summit, co-hosted by Turkey and Australia, aims to garner support for a global goal to increase the share of electricity in energy consumption to 35% by 2035.
