Australia Adamant About Not Using Controversial Carbon Credits For Kyoto Protocol Goals
The Australian government, according to its Kyoto Protocol goals, had committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2030
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday, December 13 said that he was very confident that Australia will achieve its 2030 emissions-reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol without using the controversial Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs). Morrison reiterated his country’s commitment to the Paris Climate Accord, saying that Australia cut down 459 million tonnes of carbon emissions and improved in terms of achieving its 2030 target over the last two years. He added that the carbon emission level in Australia was below 17 percent of what it was in 2005.
