The federal Coalition confirms it will dump Australia's commitment to reduce emissions by 43 per cent by 2030, arguing the target is unachievable.
  • In short: The Coalition says Labor will fail to meet the Paris Agreement emissions reductions target but will damage Australian industry in trying.
  • Recent projections indicate Australia is not on track for the 2030 target, but could get close if existing policies are implemented as promised.
  • What next? The Coalition is focusing on gas and nuclear power, which the Australian Conservation Foundation describes as a “fantasy which Australia does not need”.
