Simon Stiell, the UN climate chief, emphasized the importance of Australia’s 2035 emissions target, urging the Albanese government to choose an ambitious number. This decision is seen as a crucial opportunity to engage with the Asian clean tech sector, promising potential job creation and economic security. Stiell noted that the climate policy discussions could be complex but encouraged a bold approach rather than settling for easier options. Target estimates by the Climate Change Authority suggest a significant reduction of 65% to 75% by 2035 compared to 2005 levels as ambitious yet achievable.
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change executive secretary, Simon Stiell, declared Australia's 2035 emissions target will define the country's future and urged the government to aim high.
Stiell emphasized the government's target decision is pivotal for building an on-ramp to the Asian clean tech boom, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs.
