Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen says his co-presidency of the COP31 climate summit in November will have positive economic benefits for Australia. Bowen concedes that he does not expect the summit in Turkey to result in "massive breakthroughs" on global climate action, contending that there will be a "more iterative" step forward on the issue compared with landmark ones such as COP21 in Paris. Bowen has also indicated that a push to curb coal and gas exports will not be on the agenda for COP during his joint presidency. Taxpayers are facing a bill of more than $500m in travel costs for Bowen and his team of more than 100 bureaucrats ahead of the summit.
