CANBERRA, Australia -- Australia’s prime minister confirmed on Friday he will attend a climate summit in Glasgow next month despite his government remaining bitterly divided over a draft plan for the country to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said his government’s next climate plan would protect the interests of “rural and regional” Australians who complain that they have borne the brunt of previous reforms.
“It’s not just about hitting net zero. That’s an important environmental goal,” Morrison said.
"What’s important is that Australia’s economy goes from strength to strength," he added.
