Bula COP31!

Episode 'B' for Brisbane: G'day Michael Kelly

18 Jun 2025

Description

In this episode of G'day COP31, we say a warm hello to Michael Kelly from the World Liquid Gas Association (WLGA) – the global voice for LPG producers like butane and propane.Michael gives us the lowdown on what WLGA does and why it shows up at COPs (spoiler: it’s not just about lobbying). We dig into how LPG plays a role in clean cooking, off-grid power, and energy access in the developing world – and yes, even your Aussie barbeque.We also unpack the Australian Government’s push to host COP31 “in partnership with the Pacific” – is Adelaide the right venue? And what’s in it for our Pacific neighbours?Plus, what do emissions from LPG look like, and how does the industry plan to stay relevant in a low-carbon world?Finally, we ask: Will Mike be at COP31? How can Australian companies get involved? And how does the WLGA help them get a seat at the table?Some links that can help you follow along with the COP process:Here is the official UNFCCC link for the June UN Climate Meetings (SB62): https://unfccc.int/sb62The schedule of events for the SB62 meetings is continuously updated, and will indicate which sessions are available for public webcast.
