The new Australian Prime Minister declared, Thursday June 16, to have officially written to the UN to announce a significant increase in the objectives of reduction of the emissions of greenhouse gases. Anthony Albanese thus confirms a change in the climate policy of his country. He specified that this objective would go from -26-28% to -43% by 2030, as promised in his electoral programme.
This more ambitious goal “prepares Australia for a prosperous future, a future driven by cleaner and cheaper energy”. Anthony Albanese wants his country “seize the opportunity to act on climate change”.
At the end of May, the Minister for Foreign Affairs admitted that Australia had “neglected his responsibility” in the past and that Canberra did“would ignore” plus calls for Pacific nations to act on climate change. “We were elected on an emissions reduction program [des gaz à effet de serre] of 43% by 2030 and neutrality [carbone] achieved by 2050″added the member of the center-left government. “And these are not just words: we will enshrine it in law and very soon we will submit a new contribution at the national level to the [Convention cadre des Nations unies sur les changements climatiques]“she had promised.
