The two-day virtual summit will push nations from around the world to take stronger action and commit to new measures on climate change.
In a speech overnight, Prime Minister Scott Morrison appeared to inch closer to committing Australia to the goal. "It will be won in our energy sector. In our industrial sector. In our ag sector. In our manufacturing sector. That’s how you get to net zero," he said."The Australian government really has a choice - it can continue to window dress its climate record and have Australia lumped with climate laggards... or it can work with our closest ally and put forward new targets [and] new ambitions.
“When countries continue to rely on coal for a significant amount of their energy, or invest in new coal factories, or allow for massive deforestation, they will hear from the United States and our partners about how harmful these actions are.” The upcoming summit to be held later this week is being seen as an attempt by Mr Biden to signal his intent to prioritise the issue of climate change and rally global action early in his administration.
