Vanuatu criticises Australia for extending gas project while making Cop31 bid

Climate minister says greenlighting North West Shelf project until 2070 is not the leadership Pacific countries expect as Australia seeks to

Climate minister says greenlighting North West Shelf project until 2070 is not the leadership Pacific countries expect as Australia seeks to host summit Vanuatu’s climate minister has expressed disappointment over Australia’s decision to extend one of the world’s biggest liquefied natural gas projects and said it raises questions over its bid to co-host the Cop31 summit with Pacific nations. The UN is expected to announce which country will host the major climate summit in the coming weeks, with Australia pushing for the event to be held in Adelaide as part of a “Pacific Cop”. Speaking to the Guardian, Vanuatu’s minister for climate adaptation Ralph Regenvanu said Pacific leaders who have supported the co-hosting proposal now have “questions raised” following Australia’s decision to greenlight Woodside’s North West Shelf gas project until 2070. Scientists and activists have said the life extension could be linked to up to 6bn tonnes of greenhouse gases being emitted in the decades ahead. “This is not the leadership we want to see from Australia, if they are to be the host of Cop at the same time,” Regenvanu told the Guardian. Australia’s foreign minister, Penny Wong, visited Vanuatu the week before her government approved the extension of the Woodside gas plant. While there, she said Australia had been “a very emissions-intensive economy” and that “[we] have to turn that around”. Regenvanu called this “double speak from Australia” and feared the same would take place during Cop.
