"In less than ten years, Australia has to cut its emissions 62–75% below 2005
levels. Given reductions in emissions over the past 20 years, that translates
to cutting emissions 47–65% below current levels. As of last year, that’s about
440 million tonnes (Mt) of carbon dioxide equivalent.
Under current climate policies, official projections indicate annual emissions
will fall 32% by 2035, leaving a sizeable 70–150Mt gap. That’s big. Australia’s
cars, trucks and other road vehicles emitted a total of 82Mt last year, for
instance.
In a new report, we show Australia will need new policies that provide clearer
signals and stronger incentives to stand a chance of reaching its goal."
