Victoria’s climate change strategy provides a stark illustration of why Australia needs a national strategy to reduce emissions at lowest cost over the next few decades.
Drawing from the work of an independent expert panel led by Labor’s former federal climate change minister Greg Combet, the Victorian government has announced interim emissions reduction targets against the state’s 2005 level of 28-33 per cent by 2025, and 45-50 per cent by 2030. These targets are arguably consistent with the government’s target of net-zero by 2050.
