Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

Narrative

The prime minister used the opening of the COP31 Leaders Summit in Antalya, Türkiye, overnight on Wednesday to urge countries to step up climate action and support vulnerable nations, warning Pacific communities were "pleading" for assistance. But his appeal came as United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres delivered a forceful warning that the world must stop building new fossil fuel infrastructure, while climate advocates accused Australia of undermining its international leadership by continuing to expand coal and gas production.
