"Discussions are hotting up over Australia’s 2035 emission reduction target,
which the federal government is due to reveal by September this year. It will
be a crucial announcement, for several reasons.
The target signals to the world whether Australia is willing to do its fair
share to tackle global warming. The decision will also guide Australia’s
pathway to its net-zero goal. And it will be closely watched by Pacific nations
urging Australia to step up on climate policy.
The government has been awaiting final advice from the independent Climate
Change Authority before announcing its decision. The authority’s draft advice
suggested an indicative 65–75% cut to emissions by 2035.
We are confident Australia can achieve this – and go further. Our modelling
suggests emissions reduction up to 85% is achievable. A stronger target also
makes economic sense, by positioning industry to make the most of Australia’s
competitive advantages on the road to a net zero economy."
