Australia is playing its part in international action to respond to climate change. We have a strong record on our international targets and have ratified the Paris agreement. Our 2030 target under the Paris agreement is to reduce emissions by 26 to 28 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. This is a strong, ambitious and responsible target that will see Australia's emissions per person halved, and it is among the largest of any major economy on this basis.

Question agreed to.
