Diplomatic void clouds Labor's climate summit bid
Australia's Foreign Affairs Department is operating without its top climate diplomat as the Albanese government struggles to lock in the international support required to secure its bid to host a major UN summit in Adelaide in 2026.
Climate change ambassador Kristin Tilley left her post on June 27, but the government has yet to find a replacement. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is recruiting for the role, but has not set a date for the appointment of a new ambassador.
