Albanese Unveils Ambitious Emission Reduction Targets Ahead of UN General Assembly
CARBON CAPTURE
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will attend the UN General Assembly to present Australia’s commitment to reducing emissions by 62-70% from 2005 levels by 2035. Achieving this goal demands a significant increase in renewable energy, electric vehicles, and tree planting.
While the target has been deemed feasible by business groups, environmentalists argue it is insufficient. The government’s plan also emphasizes the need for evolving policies to avoid rising energy costs linked to the phase-out of coal-fired power.
