Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen has his sights on setting a more ambitious emissions reduction goal for 2035 before the next federal election, after confirming Labor’s 2030 target is locked in.
“The Paris mechanism is very clear ... all future targets must be better than previous targets,” he said on Tuesday. “In due course, I’ll advise the cabinet on the 2035 target and that will be advised by the Climate Change Authority and hopefully I’m still climate change minister when we are setting the 2040 target as well,” he said.“Our job collectively across the planet is to make forward progress to make sure the international institutions ... are strong and robust and making forward progress, and under Anthony Albanese we’ll play a very strong role in doing so.
