"Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen has announced Australia is
“within striking distance” of the government’s 2030 emissions reduction target.
The good news was in the
2023 Climate Statement he tabled in parliament late
last week.
Our commitment under the Paris Agreement is to reduce emissions of greenhouse
gases by 43% relative to 2005 levels by 2030, and to reach net zero emissions
by 2050.
Unfortunately, a closer look at the statement suggests Australia is unlikely to
achieve net zero by 2050 in the absence of radical policy changes. The problem
can be seen in the following charts, included in the statement."
