APIA, Samoa — Australia and the United Kingdom have agreed to collaborate on climate change and energy initiatives, aiming to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, while reaffirming their mutual commitment to develop nuclear submarines for both nations under the Aukus treaty.
The Climate and Energy Partnership was announced after talks between Australia n Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on the sidelines of the Commonwealth leaders meeting in Samoa on Friday.The partnership focuses on accelerating the development of renewable energy like green hydrogen and offshore wind by sharing technology and innovation.
However, the statement was short on specifics for implementing the agreement, and is likely to do little to assuage the fears of several Pacific Island leaders, whose low-lying island nations are at high risk of rising sea levels and on Thursday called on both countries to do more in tackling climate change.
