Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has revealed the COP31 United Nations climate change conference will be in Adelaide if Australia’s joint bid with the Pacific succeeds.

A decision on who will host the global climate conference in November 2026 is expected to be made in June this year, with Turkey the other country in the running.
