The Australian government has pledged to cut emissions by at least 62% by 2035 compared to 2005 levels. Previously, the country had planned only a 43% reduction by 2030. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called this decision “a science-based and achievable plan.”
In recent years, Australia has faced severe droughts, bushfires, and major floods. A special report commissioned by the government stated that global warming in the country had already surpassed 1.5 degrees, putting all regions at risk.
Experts warn that without decisive action, the future could bring more deaths from heatwaves, worsening water quality, and rising sea levels.
At the same time, Australia’s climate policy remains a subject of internal debate. While the government aims to make the country a “renewable energy leader,” it also continues to approve major gas projects. These decisions have been strongly criticized by environmentalists and political groups.
