Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg will arrive at the U-N climate conference in Germany next week - keen to tout Australia's leadership on land use and developing low-emission technologies. The visit comes as pro-climate activists rallied in Bonn, and U-S climate campaigners met to pledge ongoing support for green initiatives. And with significant Pacific Island representation at the conference, Mr Frydenberg could find himself answering questions about Australia's continued support of fossil fuels.
