‘Spineless’: Ministers ditch climate terms in Australia trade deal

摘要

The government has reportedly dumped a reference to the Paris Agreement’s temperaturegoals in its draft trade deal with Australia, earning the ire of politicians both here and there. According to an email leaked to Sky News by a senior official, trade secretary Liz Truss and business secretaryKwasi Kwarteng have agreed to “drop both of the climate asks” from the text. The final version will apparentlycontain a reference to the agreement, though not its specific temperature goals – unlike the trade deal struck withthe EU.
