Australia urged to end fossil fuel expansion ahead of COP31
Original: Pre-COP31: Australia must end fossil fuel expansion and support environmental defenders to show real climate leadership in the Asia-Pacific
Ahead of the COP31 climate summit, Amnesty International Australia is calling on the Australian government to halt fossil fuel expansion and better protect environmental defenders. The group argues that showing genuine climate leadership in the Asia-Pacific requires more than diplomatic hosting — it demands cutting new coal and gas projects and safeguarding activists who face threats for their work.
Why now: Australia is preparing to host COP31, drawing scrutiny of its own climate and human rights record.
