Australia has a track record of meeting and beating our international commitments. We have beaten our 2020 target by 459 million tonnes. We're on track to meet and beat our 2030 target. Australians are also deploying renewable energy at 10 times the global per person average. These are achievements Australians can and should be proud of, but climate change is a global problem requiring global action. That's why Australia has committed to the Paris Agreement and to investing in the new and emerging technologies that will make net zero emissions achievable.
