We're going to get on with ensuring that we don't just talk about targets but, in exceeding those targets, we do it by investing in the technologies to actually reduce emissions, to achieve the outcomes that reduce emissions. Australia generates around one per cent of global emissions. It's important that we do our part. But it's even more important in terms of achieving a reduction in global emissions that we help to achieve the breakthroughs in technology and the transformations that mean we are acting in concert with other nations like the United States, but also like China or India or other nations who have higher emissions profiles than Australia.

Our intention is to make sure that we deliver on the $20 billion of low-emissions technology commitments we've made for the decade ahead. That's part of building on our partnerships we've signed with Singapore, Japan, Germany and the UK to deliver the technologies that will help the US, Australia and many other partner nations and others around the world to reduce our emissions.
