"A new pact between Australia and the United States highlights the pivotal role
our nation’s mineral wealth will play in the clean energy transition. But it
also underscores the massive effort now required from Australia.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and US President Joe Biden inked the landmark
deal in Japan over the weekend. It cements cooperation between the two nations
on climate action, including sharing resources and coordinating on clean energy
policy and investment.

Australia and the US have been allies since the end of the Second World War.
The new agreement adds climate action as a “third pillar” of the alliance
between the two nations, along with defence and economic cooperation.

The enhanced partnership could accelerate Australia’s transition from major
fossil fuel exporter to clean energy powerhouse. But success is far from
assured. Australia must act fast to seize the opportunity now before us."
