Australia sets a new emissions reduction target of 62% by 2035 under the Paris Agreement:
Australia has raised its national emissions reduction target to 62% by 2035, based on 2005 levels. The announcement, made by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, marks a substantial increase from the country’s previous commitment of a 43% cut by 2030. The decision aligns with Australia’s obligations under the Paris Climate Agreement and comes amid growing concerns over the country’s vulnerability to extreme weather events driven by climate change.
