As I said, our emissions are down per capita at the lowest level for 29 years; our electricity sector emissions have fallen 6.5 million tonnes over the course of the year; and our $3.5 billion Climate Solutions Package will see us achieve the remaining 328 million tonnes of abatement that need to be achieved to reach our 2030 target, having exceeded our 2020 Kyoto target by 328 million tonnes. But not only are we meeting our international commitments; we're also making substantial contributions to reducing the emissions of other countries, and we're doing that through the record growth in our LNG exports. Indeed, we are now the highest exporter of LNG in the world.
