Urge Australia to Take Action Against Climate Change and Introduce More Aggressive Carbon Reduction Targets

  • av: Georgina B.

The Climate Change Authority (CCA) has criticised the Australian government's emission reduction targets, according to a report on ABC.com.au.

Australia currently plans to cut emissions by 26-28 per cent by 2030, however, the CCA has recommended reductions of 45-63 per cent by 2020.

Bernie Fraser from the CCA said in a statement: "Along with other countries, Australia has agreed to work towards reducing emissions to levels consistent with limiting global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels — this remains a challenging task."

"Measured against the reductions in emissions required to deliver a reasonable chance of limiting global warming to 2 degrees, all countries have a lot more work to do over the decades ahead."

The world cannot wait for Australia to take effective action on climate change. As a result of greenhouse gas pollution, the planet is heating up at a much faster rate than ever before and our oceans are becoming more acidic.
