International themes dominated the discussion during the Global Conservative Climate Summit, here featuring a panel with representatives from Bangladesh, Norway, the UK, Canada and the United States.

Technology, Not Taxes. That is the mantra put forward by the Australian contingent at COP26, here represented by James Larsen, Climate Coordinator for Australia (r.). Officials from Down Under came to COP26 to promote their climate initiatives, such as significant investment in green hydrogen development and deployment, as well as speaking out against a tax-and-tariff carbon pricing regime. John Hart and Drew Bond, Co-Founders of C3 Solutions, join Elizabeth Halliday of the CCLC, with Mr. Larsen at a reception following Day 1 of the GCCS.
