Premium Content  Australia will not get the comprehensive climate flogging some activists have predicted at Joe Biden s summit this week, a leading analyst of the US/Australian alliance has suggested. The virtual summit of 40 world leaders taking place on Thursday and Friday has already generated policy momentum, with Washington and Beijing committing to work together on climate issues, and Canada announcing it will cut CO2 emissions by 36 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030. The US, Japan and South Korea are all poised to announce ambitious new emissions targets for 2030 during the summit, which could be as high as 50 per cent.
