athy Alexander gives
us some indication of what is likely to unfold for Australia at the United
Nations climate summit in Paris in December.

| Research Fellow at the Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute, Cathy Alexander. |
The Research Fellow at the Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute at University of Melbourne discusses a speech by United Nations
climate change chief Christiana Figueres given to a Melbourne summit on
greenhouse emissions reductions.
“Because what was most interesting was not what she did say,
but what she didn’t,” Ms Alexander wrote on The Conversation.
“Figueres praised what Europe has done on climate targets,
as well as commending pledges from the United States and Mexico on emissions.
China had made an “amazing commitment”. Gabon (Google it) got the tick. Even
oil-rich Saudi Arabia was praised.
“But one country was not praised in her 40-minute speech:
Australia,” she said.
