Chris Bowen, Australia’s climate change and energy minister and the next Cop president, told a UN preparatory meeting in Bonn on 13 June 2026 that Australia can switch from exporting fossil fuels to exporting clean energy products such as green hydrogen, undersea cables, green datacentres and AI services. He cited domestic conditions — more than one-third of homes with rooftop solar and over 400,000 household batteries installed since a July subsidy began — and noted 80% of Australia’s trading partners have net-zero commitments. Bowen acknowledged a shrinking market for fossil fuels and pointed to domestic political pressure from One Nation, a climate-denial party polling at about 30%.
