> Campaign group 350.org has criticised Australia and Turkey, hosts of COP31, for remaining partners in the coal supply chain while saying little publicly about a global deal to move rapidly away from coal, gas and oil. It urged both countries to set coal phase-out dates and publish national fossil-fuel transition roadmaps.
