The UK has promised to cut emissions by 81 per cent by 2035. The Climate Change Authority is considering how much more we could do.
State and territory climate commitments alone would reduce Australia’s emissions by 71 per cent by 2035, despite Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s refusal to commit to a fresh target until after the next federal election.
Australia must reduce its emissions by 85 per cent by 2035 under a 1.5 degrees scenario, or 61 per cent under a “well below” 2 degrees scenario. “That’s why we remain laser-focused on our efforts to transform our energy system to achieve 82 per cent renewable electricity by 2030,” he said. Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero of the United Kingdom Ed Miliband unveiled a new 81 per cent emissions reduction target at the talks in Baku.
