CANBERRA, April 15 (Xinhua) The Australian government has been urged to pursue a 2035 net zero emissions target to mitigate the risk of climate-related disasters.
In a report published on Thursday, the Climate Council said Australia was falling behind the rest of the world on climate change.
It called for the government to abandon its current goal to reduce emissions by 26-28 percent from 2005 levels by 2030 and instead pursue a more ambitious target of slashing emissions by 75 percent by 2030 and by 100 percent by 2035. Australia is effectively standing still, while the rest of the world including our strategic allies and trading partners race towards net zero emissions, Will Steffen, a member of Australian National University s Climate Change Institute and lead author of the report, said in a media release.

Leading Australian climate scientists are calling for Australia to dramatically upgrade its climate policies in the light of new research that shows a decade of inaction means it may be too late to try and limit average global warming to just 1.5°C.
A review of recent climate science findings published by the Climate Council reveals a growing scientific consensus that the world is already on track to warm by more than 1.5°C, and that only an ‘overshoot and drawdown’ trajectory, requiring the extensive use of carbon capture and storage, will allow temperatures to be stabilised at that level.
It may still be possible to limit average global warming to just 2°C above pre-industrial levels, but a rapid ramp-up of decarbonisation efforts will be required by all countries to meet the target. In Australia, that would translate into reaching 100 per cent renewables, or close to it, by 2030, and a 75 per cent economy-wide emissions reduction target by the same date.
