Australia Sets Ambition Goal to Reduce Emissions by at Least 62% by 2035

  • The Australian government set its national greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2035 at 62 to 70 percent below 2005 levels as official policy.
  • This target follows the Climate Change Authority's recommendation amid global efforts originating from the 2015 Paris Agreement to limit temperature rises.
  • Australia’s emissions goal is less aggressive than some other countries', yet it marks one of the most significant shifts in the nation’s approach to climate action, accompanied by new investments in green fuels and efforts to decarbonise industry.
  • Prime Minister Albanese emphasized the importance of Australia’s dedication to tackling climate change, while the country’s initial national evaluation of climate risks indicated that rising sea levels could jeopardize the safety of approximately 1.5 million people living in coastal areas by 2050.
  • Environmental groups urge adopting the upper end of the recommended range to avoid worsening climate impacts while the government emphasizes balancing ambition with achievability.
