Climate change poses an imminent threat to both humanity and biodiversity. Australia, already grappling with arid landscapes and fragile ecosystems, faces severe impacts from climate change, exemplified by recent natural disasters marked by heightened frequency and intensity. Halting this trajectory demands a significant reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, aiming for net-zero levels. The Australian Government has taken a proactive step by unveiling AUSTRALIA’S LONG-TERM EMISSIONS REDUCTION PLAN, a comprehensive strategy spanning the entire economy with the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. By 2030, Australia aims to slash emissions by 43% below 2005 levels.
