The Australian Government has set a target to reduce emissions to 62-70% below 2005 levels by 2035. The Net Zero Plan sets out how Australia will achieve a fair, orderly and efficient transition to net zero. It provides a framework for action that builds on Australia’s natural strengths, to ensure all Australians benefit.
The Plan demonstrates how Australia can transition while:
- growing the economy
- reducing cost pressures on households and businesses
- creating new jobs.
The Plan identifies 5 priorities to guide Australia's transition to net zero:
- Clean electricity across the economy.
- Lowering emissions by electrification and efficiency.
- Expanding clean fuel use.
- Accelerating new technologies.
- Net carbon removals scaled up.
The net zero plan is supported by six sector emissions reduction plans: electricity and energy; agriculture and land; the built environment; industry; resources; and transport.
