Australian PM Resists New Climate Target as US, UK, EU Pledge Ambitious Emission Cuts
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is betting on hydrogen technology as the way forward to cutting greenhouse gas emissions, rather than setting new climate targets like fellow industrialised nations.
On Thursday, the Leaders’ Summit on Climate was held online and chaired by U.S. President Joe Biden.
Prime Minister Morrison told the summit that Australia was on a “pathway to net zero.”
“Our goal is to get there as soon as we possibly can, through technology that enables and transforms our industries, not taxes that eliminate them and the jobs and livelihoods they support and create, especially in our regions,” he said.
