"Australia is being urged to trace a pathway away from fossil fuel exports and
temper its use of land carbon sequestration to meet emissions targets.
With just a month to go before the federal government must reveal its 2035
emissions target and updated plans to contribute to global temperature goals,
leading global think tank Climate Analytics has joined the call for an
ambitious policy refresh for Australia.
The Berlin-based outfit, headed by climate scientist Bill Hare, calls for a net
emissions reduction target of 81 per cent below 2005 levels by 2035.
It also wants the 2030 target of a 43 per cent reduction upped to 72 per cent.
Dr Hare views these goals as ambitious but “technologically and economically
feasible”, and importantly aligned with limiting warming as close as possible
to the Paris Agreement’s 1.5C limit.
“The world will be watching Australia’s target as the government bids to
co-host next year’s climate talks with Pacific Island countries whose very
existence is threatened by warming exceeding 1.5C,” he said."
