ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Australia to hit 2030 emissions target, government says | ABC News” – below is their description.
The government says Australia is on its way to hitting its 2030 climate targets as it faces criticism from conservation groups for support of fossil fuels.
New federal government data, which will be released to parliament this week, projects Australia’s greenhouse emissions are to be 42 per cent below 2005 levels by the end of the decade.
The projections are based on existing government climate policies and as more policies are finalised and deployed, it says the emissions outlook will improve further.
Energy Minister Chris Bowen, who will reveal the annual Climate Change Statement later this week, told ABC’s Insiders he was “pleased” with what his government had achieved so far but not yet satisfied as “the task is big”.
