Australia is aiming for an ambitious 65-75 percent emissions reduction target by 2035, as recommended by the government's top climate advisory body.
The Climate Change Authority (CCA) published its assessment on Thursday, urging the government to adopt a target of 65-75 percent below 2005 levels. Brad Archer, CCA chief executive, emphasized that achieving this goal is possible with concerted efforts from governments, businesses, investors, and households.
\"In developing our advice, we are looking at the latest science, economic data, technological developments, and the opportunities and impacts for Australians, including First Nations peoples and those in rural and regional areas,\" Archer stated in a media release.
The Australian Labor Party has already committed to reducing the country's emissions by at least 43 percent from 2005 levels by 2030 and has tasked the CCA to recommend a target for 2035.
