Australia will take an innovative approach to lowering the nation’s carbon emissions with the federal government announcing it will focus on fostering technological advancement in the field that can provide the country with continued economic growth.
Angus Taylor, the federal minister for emissions reduction, noted on Sept. 22 that although Australia was committed to a goal of net-zero emissions, as set out by the 2016 Paris Agreement, it “can’t and shouldn’t damage its economy to reduce emissions.”
