Australia said it will join German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s climate club to help expand international cooperation on tackling global warming amid record temperatures.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the move on Monday at a news conference with Scholz after talks in Berlin. He said the club, which the German leader launched as host of last year’s Group of Seven summit in Bavaria, is a “high-ambition initiative” to address what he called the world’s most pressing challenge.
